Good tempo expected with Ribkraka, Gracetheace and Illuminated Miss rolling forward. RIBKRAKA (1) only beat a 4-horse field here 3 weeks ago, but maintained a strong gallop in front, and had something in hand when scoring by nearly 2 lengths. He will likely try similar tactics here, and could be hard to peg back again. GINA ROSA (7) may not have beaten much at Avondale when scoring her first win there 10 days ago, but the manner in which she finished off that race was impressive. She is nicely weighted and has to be respected. EAGLE ROCK (2) has made a bright start to his career and capped off some good form with a game win by nearly a length here 8 weeks ago. He has been back to the trials since then, and will be competitive again. VIVA GLAM (8) finished third behind the top pick in a 4-horse field last start. She is bred to improve with time, and stepping up to 1400m should be in her favour. Stick with her. I PARK (3) made solid progress earlier in the year, and was runner-up in a recent trial. He will be stronger now, and can give this a shake fresh up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gina Rosa won very easily last start, and she could be at good value again.
