Pick 'N' Mix and Foxenberg should set a strong clip. PICK 'N' MIX (4) was poor first up at Caulfield Heath when right in the market and has been given a let-up since then. She's much better than that and has to be given another chance. With the main danger out, anything like her best goes close. CHARMED RUN (2) ran a solid race on resumption at Warrnambool when getting into second. She'll need the breaks from the low gate but is a chance if they come. FOXENBERG (9) resumes for his second campaign. He's had a bit of boom on him and looked good early doors before a couple of so-so runs before a break. Wary here while fresh. BOSSY STAR (6) resumes and should be hitting the line late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pick 'N' Mix to win.
