From their wide draws Ellofadude and Moscow Circus can establish a strong tempo. Speedy mare MOSCOW CIRCUS (1) took a sit when resuming last start over this trip at Doomben and didn't shirk her task, beaten just a length in a hectic finish. Beaten narrowly over today's journey at Eagle Farm when second-up last prep. In well after the claim and might have too much class for this field. CHICA DEL MAR (6) was fair when resuming from a seven-month spell last time out over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Promising mare who scored at the same stage last time in work. Will be hitting the line hard. ELLOFADUDE (9) started at a very short quote and just did enough on debut recently over 1000m at Tamworth. Has to take a pretty big step forward today but he should manage. STAR PREDICTION (2) is a handy sprinter back from a short spell. The highlight last prep was a maiden win here at this trip. Must be considered. PRINCE RUPERT (8) faded at Coffs Harbour last time out but the form prior to that was excellent so he deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be with Moscow Circus.
