Moderate pace with Destiny's Delight taking up the running ahead of Little Baia and Edmond. BRIGHT RED (2) finds a much easier contest tonight after bumping into some progressive types at her last five starts. Maps to stalk the speed and expected to return to winning form with J Mac engaged. DESTINY'S DELIGHT (1) returned from a lengthy break with a gutsy second in the heavy (8) going to the handy Sweysive over 1400m at Warwick Farm. Has won second-up and Wadick's claim is a bonus. LITTLE BAIA (7) had the two runs back and no shock to see her improve sharply out to the 1550m. Just under a month between runs when outsprinted to run ninth over 1250m here. Well drawn and will roll forward and give plenty of cheek. EDMOND (4) tough old gelding with an okay record over this course and distance. Set to peak fourth-up after finishing fourth to Magnatear at Wyong on January 11. Form has since been franked and can add value to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bright Red to win.
