Without a great deal of early pace evident Cheeky Sort may lead the way over Arctic Bright. Open race with plenty of chances. BETTER BLOOM (5) progressive filly who brings a solid set of figures here at her third race start. Sat just off the speed when a fast finishing third over 1200m at this track. Distance suits and should be able to overcome the sticky gate. ARCTIC BRIGHT (9) chipped away late at her first run back with a respectable fourth over 1300m at Canberra. Another drawn out with the upside to take a hand in the finish. CHEEKY SORT (11) was prominent on the turn and did well to secure third first-up over 1100m at Wyong. Comes out of a decent contest and gets her chance to run the 1300m out from the good gate. CABBUCIO (7) back for her second prep with a slashing third from last on the turn over 1200m at Nowra in a Super Mdn. This course and trip suits and will be strong late. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Better Bloom and Arctic Bright can fight it out.
