Loads of speed from Street Parade, Ice Pick Nick and Almighty Class burning turf in the early stages. Competitive. LACED UP HEELS (1) was the eye-catcher late in the Bluff Knoll when running on from a mile back. She rises sharply in weight as she drops in grade, but she draws a much better barrier for Parnham and she'll relish the step out in trip. Looks set to return to the winners stall. ALMIGHTY CLASS (5) probably should've won first-up when strung up for most of the straight. He showed good improvement off a similar set up last preparation when narrowly beaten by Super Smink at Listed level. Can atone for his last start defeat. ICE PICK NICK (4) has enjoyed the move west, winning first-up and just missing last start over this course and distance. He drops in weight this time and although drawn a little sticky, he rates right up to his rivals. Can make his presence felt. REAR ADMIRAL (7) got the job done over this course and distance last time out. Drawn well for CJP and is a live chance. STREET PARADE (3) is right in the mix with the blinkers going back on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Laced Up Heels gets the nod.
