Lack of early pace and expect a moderate tempo at best. FLASHY ICON (2) peaks off a 1.6L defeat at Canberra, stepping up to this distance. Drops back to an easier grade, and the 3kg claim offsets most of the weight rise. Draws inside and is the one to beat. EVER WAS (4) brings narrow defeats from Muswellbrook and Mudgee, and he should enjoy a soft run from the inside barrier. Should get every chance to go one better. PRETTY PLEASE (3) has been racing in better company since her win this track/trip. This is a suitable assignment, and she should be fighting out the finish. SEBASTIAN'S FLYER (6) placed this track/trip two starts back and came back to a mile at the Sapphire Coast at his latest. Maps well, and an in-form hoop is reunited. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Flashy Icon.
