Moderate tempo with Zeebrugge leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. Baker-trained CUESTA (3) peaks off two close-up placings at the provincials. She had no luck at Wyong last time and is well-placed to break through. WIRE TO WIRE (2) is also metro-trained and was a major disappointment at Newcastle first-up, when expected to win (vet cleared). He must have been showing plenty and presents today, gelded. Draws the inside gate and is worth another chance. TURNING CIRCLE (6) has been within range her last two and didn't have the best of it at Goulburn last time. Honest, and with average luck, she can make the finish. BAWNAGLEN (1) improved sharply beaten a whisker at Scone and maps well on a 9-day return. Looks to have turned the corner. LADY FELINA (4) is in a top Sydney barn and three back on debut showed enough to keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cuesta.
