Good pace headed by Middle Child, Floral Legend and Instigate, with She's Speedy and Chateau Von Tess close by. SHE'S SPEEDY (5) resumes and has her first run for the Stephen Massingham yard. The former Victorian was in the placings first-up last campaign at Sale over 1100m. Led and just missed at Mornington two back and is sure to take some beating. FLORAL LEGEND (2) was beaten one length into third at Dalby, then finished 1.2 lengths from the winner over 1000m at Townsville. Sits handy in the run and is overdue. MONTY ROAD (1) resume and has switched from a NSW yard. Showed enough at Wellington on debut to suggest he can win some races up here and benefits from a 2kg claim. In the mix. INSTIGATE (3) resumes and has also switched from a NSW stable. Can run along and she showed enough early doors to keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's Speedy to win.
