Solid tempo with Fuzzybox leading from Royal Accolade and Favaios. ROYAL ACCOLADE (1) sat on the speed first-up and was only caught late over this course and distance. He'll be fitter for that run after coming into this campaign without a trial. Maps to sit handy again from the barrier and looks the one to beat with his added fitness. BLITZEM BABE (6) missed out by 0.4L at Kalgoorlie 47 days ago when bouncing back to her best over this distance. Faithfull remains in the saddle and the blinkers come off now as she joins the Payton stable. She's been adaptable in the past and she's sure to put her best foot forward once again. BUSTER'S GIRL (3) beat home Royal Accolade here last start when leading all of the way. She rises in weight, but she'll be fitter now and the inside draw should see her up on the speed once more. Will be tough to gun down once again. PURE QUALITY (7) finished off strongly fresh and can be in the finish once more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Accolade looks the one to beat.
