Expecting Loken to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. COSMIC BEAUTY (3) is a very consistent conveyance who has hit the top-four in all eight outings to date and has a win and a placing from two efforts around this circuit. Gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim and should be right there when the whips are cracking. LUVARCHIE (1) saves his best form for this distance range, draws low and is another to get some weight off. Ticks a few boxes. ZUETORO (6) hails from an astute barn and cannot be discounted. BEACHSIDE BABE (7) strips fitter second-up from the break and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmic Beauty to return a winner.
