Angelinthenightsky and Kermalicious look to take it up. KERMALICIOUS (7) continues to mix her form but has shown glimpses. Possesses enough tactical speed to offset the tricky alley and can give backers a sight. Goes on top of PARALIA (2) who was fresh when midfield over 1200m at this track. Fitter now and stepping up in trip, she looks ready to make her presence felt. MAGGIE ROSE (10) got too far back at Coffs Harbour last outing but is better than that and looks a chance to improve sharply in this field. Form around her stacks up. COUNTERPART (6) is yet to trouble the judge but doesn't strike a particularly deep race and could get involved without surprising. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Kermalicious.
