Clive's Glory, Madame Cody and Lonesome Soul can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. CONTINGENCY (1) missed a whisker over 1800m in an Open 3 at Eagle Farm before the spell and resumed with a 1L defeat at the Gold Coast over 1400m this grade. Proven second-up and is suited stepping up in trip. Maps well and will be tough to beat. KOZAK PRINCE (2) resumed over 1400m at the Sunshine Coast off a try at Group 3 level and spaced a CL1 field. He has more to give over this distance, and he's also proven second-up. He can make the finish. LONESOME SOUL (3) came back to a sprint in stronger at Doomben and didn't have the best of it. Was beaten a lip in an Open 3 at Eagle Farm over 1800m at the back of the previous campaign, so has the ability. Peaks look for her to come late. MADAME CODY (7) resumes and was beaten narrowly over 1820m at Eagle Farm when last seen on race day. Won a recent trial over 1200m at Deagon in an Open 3. Kicks off at 1700m rather than sprinting at her previous fresh runs, and that sparks some interest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Contingency to win.
