Small field but a good tempo is expected with Sosino, Flying Bat and High Dandy pressing on. SOSINO (1) has put back-to-back wins together this campaign and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Gets some well-needed weight relief with the 2kg claim and handles all going. Looks very hard to toss. HIGH DANDY (3) returned in fine fashion with a solid Gold Coast victory and winning rider Bellamy sticks in the saddle. Again gets the benefit of her claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Has to be included in calculations. VALOROUS POWER (5) has won two of four over this mile journey and will be cherry-ripe now fourth run back. Top-three credentials. Import MISS CHASTAIN (7) got the job done at Newcastle at her first local outing and will have come on with that run now under her belt. Can go back-to-back. FLYING BAT (6) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,3,5,7.
