Looks to be plenty of pace with Mississippi Prince and Boldinho battling for the lead. IMATRUESTAR (6) has looked good since joining the new stable with a strong mile win here two back before going down by a narrow margin last time out. Winning hoop Dolan sticks in the saddle and another strong showing would not surprise. TUHINGA (9) was well in the betting at the latest effort and didn't let supporters down with a solid Gold Coast victory. Will have taken some confidence from that win and can make it back-to-back. BOLDINHO (5) has been plying his trade in harder races down south and will find this assignment more to his liking. Look for sharp improvement. The penny has dropped for RED DEFCON (8) who has strung two wins together and it's hard to knock mares in form. Must be included in calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Imatruestar to salute.
