Tricky Mikki is expected to lead at a slick tempo. LUCKY FORTUNA (7) has been thereabouts earlier in the year in South Australia and is back on a track that she knows well. She comes to hand quickly and can take this out. THE FINAL WORD (5) won both of his starts at Alice Springs earlier in the year after resuming from a long injury break that he suffered when trained in Hong Kong. He is happy to be home, and he will be very hard to hold out fresh up. ZOUMIST (8) will be peaking third up from a spell and is perfectly drawn in the pole position. With the right run, she can take this out. GLOBAL WONDER (1) broke a win drought when leading all the way to score here 2 weeks ago. He hardly ever runs a bad race and is a must for all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Final Word each way.
