Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Mastretta a potential leader. LADY GALADRIEL (5) brought strong form from this grade and then found the Group 3 Vamos Stakes too much of a stretch. Much better suited at this level and switching back 200m. Winning rider Byrne Burke is reunited, and she can get back on track. MASTRETTA (4) improved sharply when just missing here over 1100m and then came back and led beaten 2.4L in a 68 this trip as a $2.4 favourite. She deserves another chance. FLYING CONCELLO (2) won that contest on resumption. Had switched from a Victorian yard and is much improved. Carries 3kg more but has to be considered. IT'S JAGGER TIME (3) resumes with a Longford trial win under the saddle. He will be around the mark if he's on song. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Galadriel appeals most.
