Lucky I Am should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. SO SI GOD (12) finished off strongly in the small field after being slowly away, bumping into a smart one as the race favourite. Back to the scene of her debut win and she gets in here with no weight on her back. Chris Parnham sticks and she'll be hard to hold out from the inside draw. EARTH GOD (4) is knocking on the door of a victory, bumping into Pingers last start when leading the field. Out to 1200m now for just the third time, but he has good speed and he's likely to be in this for a long way. ROMMEL'S GODDESS (9) has been superb since arriving for the new stable, just missing in this grade twice before a short freshen. She's 35-days between runs here, but the form out of her last start was superb and she rates highly. URQUHARTS BLUFF (8) will find this a little easier than his last start where he stuck on well. Can feature again. LEONARDO DA GREY (10) can pick up from where he left off 77 days ago. SUGGESTED PLAY: So Si God can return to winning ways.
