Kitty's Pledge is expected to lead at a slick tempo. RAINAGAIN (2) made it two minor placings in a row when he raced handy and battled on okay for second over 1205m at Tuncurry last start. The better form has come on heavy tracks so there are question marks, but if he repeats the recent efforts he can take this out. STELLA SIMONE (5) is back from a ten-month absence. Usually takes a run to settle in but her best figures measure up favourably in this company so she is one to keep very safe. BRANDYWINE (6) is a 21-start maiden who led but couldn't finish the race off over 1200m at Dubbo recently. In an easier race today and is worth each-way consideration. TOMMY'S GIRL (4) impressed at Wellington last Monday and is right in the picture. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rainagain on top.
