A solid tempo on the cards with Bird Whistle heading them off. BIRD WHISTLE (12) won't know herself today after contesting three Group 3 races from as many runs this prep. The pick of those efforts was two back when she was beaten just 1.6 lengths in the 1400m Carr Stakes at Randwick. Looking for the mile now and is beautifully treated under today's conditions. The interesting runner is MISTER RIZZ (3) who is first-up from a seven-month spell and has crossed from the UK. Led for home at his last appearance in a Gr 3 at Newmarket before being swamped late. Three trials since landing in the Tom Charlton yard should have him ready to run well. VILLA CASTINA (15) has been competitive at all four runs this prep without winning. At her best over the mile so she gets her chance with the help of an ideal draw. VLTAVA (10) has improved out of sight this time in work. Strong through the line at Wyong last time so the bigger track today is a bonus. CURRUMBIN ALLEY (1) was unlucky at Mudgee last Sunday and should play a role on the five-day back-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Bird Whistle.
