Reasonable tempo with Kentucky Women probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. Tough maiden. OR AM I (9) is in a good barn and seems to be progressing well. Placed second-up when stretched to 1450m last time and the slightly longer journey here looks a plus. Should be ready to fire and gets her chance. JENNI BASSETT (8) is overdue for a win and gets a chance to atone for her last run when she led at Caulfield Heath but faded late and missed the frame. That was a richer maiden and despite the wide draw will take catching in this line-up. KADDARI (2) resumed from a long break and was safely held over 1170m. Much fitter for it and last time second-up placed at Moonee Valley. Extra trip is a plus now and looks like a big improver. ALGADON STORM (5) has been edging towards a win, the latest placing over 1200m when running on hard and finishing close. Drawn for a good run and gets a chance. OUR PIERRO (10) is worth watching. First starter by Pierro who has been jumping out well and in an astute yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow in on Or Am I.
