Not much early pressure but Sorutal, Gratification and Speegle can take up forward spots. ABLESHEEBA (3) has gotten better with each run this time in work and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Gets a jockey upgrade in the form of Thompson in the irons and should be right there when it gets serious. KALAMIA KING (2) gets 3kg off with the claim and will be ready to peak now third run back from a spell. Sure to take a ton of beating. SPEEGLE (9) hit the frame over this track and trip last time out and Baker sticks in the saddle. Top-three credentials on the latest effort. GRATIFICATION (1) has had a few chances but has been thereabouts of late and may trouble the judge with any luck from the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ablesheeba to shed the maiden tag.
