Hot pace certain with Flaming Conquest and Campai taking up the running. The speedy FLAMING CONQUEST (1) resumes and the three duck eggs have all been in much stronger company. She's sharp fresh and performs this track and distance. Has the handy 3kg claim and will lead or trail from the inside barrier. Tough to roll. CAPITAL REIGN (3) resumed with a heavily bet Open win at Roma building on the head defeat here in a CL4. Has more weight but maps for the run of the race and has been kept on the fresh side. Fitter and is a chance to go back-to-back. CABRINELLA (8) was third-up and deserved the 65 win at the Sunshine Coast. Has to drop back 200m but she has a good record at this course/distance and she will present at peak fitness. PIANIST (11) is going well and fourth up deserves consideration. BECAUSE THE NIGHT (7) races well here and was quickly back on track beaten 1.2L at Toowoomba. He's been freshened for the shorter trip and draws to advantage with a 3kg claimer up. Goes in at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flaming Conquest appeals.
