The size of the field will generate a good speed in front from multiple runners. Bocephus may cross the field and lead. SLIPPERY SAGA resumes for the new yard and his best southern form stacks right up. Has placed 2/3 FU and needs to be kept very safe despite the wide gate. MISS SONADOR did a big job to win a Gold Coast Maiden and then disappointed at Cairns when she had good support. Gets the winkers first time and has claims despite the tricky gate. FRENCH AMOUR made good improvement 2U and the former SA galloper may be ready to show her best. ZATOCHIO and OUR LITTLE MIRACLE are others to consider.
SUGGESTED PLAY: Only need to see money to back SLIPPERY SAGA.
