Genuine pace with Oh Diamond Lil taking up the running ahead of Starmae and Llewellyn. Victorian mare SPARKLING (2) showed pace then battled on fairly to finish fourth when resuming over 1200m at Randwick last time out. Goes well with that run under the belt. Has the visitor's draw which makes it tough but with luck she is good enough. INVADER ZIM (6) warmed up late but never threatened when resuming over 1200m at Randwick last start. Won two of three when second-up so he is right in this. OH DIAMOND LIL (5) resumes. Took all before her last prep. Trialling in dashing style so she looks set to pick up where she left off. BLAZING HARRY (1) ended last campaign on a good note and ticks a few boxes today. Can be in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sparkling goes on top.
