Good pace from Vella's Best, Flame Of Hestia and Regimental Colours. Tough race with several exciting types engaged. LIVIN' THING (3) trapped wide early and elected to let the speed go before attacking the line late when a respectable fifth over this trip at Rosehill. Gets a better set-up for this and has excellent each way claims. FLAME OF HESTIA (9) held in high regard by the stable and justified the confidence when a slick 3.5 len winner over 1000m at Wyong. Jason Collett sticks and will have little trouble running the 1100m out. Goes close. REGIMENTAL COLOURS (6) well bred filly undefeated in two runs this prep. Gets in light with the claim and has the potential to win again despite drawing the outside gate. KING'S SECRET (1) in career best form with the three wins from his last five starts. Pounced late from the wide draw when defeating some of these over 1100m at Rosehill. Up in weight and can take a hand in the finish. STARDEEL (7) progressive gelding who looks to have come back a much stronger gelding this prep. Don't dismiss from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Livin' Thing to bounce back.
