Manolo Bling and Muschialli should set a strong tempo. MOULIN MISS (12) returned in fine fashion with a dominant win over this course and distance and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Gets in on the minimum weight and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. PRE EMINENCE (1) resumes here but has tuned up for this with a recent trial and is a three-time winner when fresh. Include with the 2kg claim. MANOLO BLING (4) is first-up for the new stable but saves her best form for this sprint journey and is sure to be up to the mark out of the Schweida yard. Keep very safe. ACRES AWAY (7) has placed two from two over this track and trip and will be rock-hard fit for this. Ready to play a major role in the outcome. GIVE GIGGLES (3) next in line while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moulin Miss to win again.
