Bold Splendor to roll forward and dictate terms. BELLINI SPRITZ (9) improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at Scone, beaten just under four lengths while doing her best work through the line. Gets out over this journey for the first time which should suit. Expected to run well. BOLD SPLENDOR (10) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track and trip, taking the lead a fair way from home the boxing on well to finish third, less than two lengths from the winner. Anticipating another big run this time. WICKED GAMES (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but turned in a real eye-catcher last start, coming from a seemingly hopeless position to flash home and just miss in a thriller over 1600m at Coonabarabran. This extra trip looks like a solid option. PRINCE IS GAME (3) came from well back in a sound performance here at this trip recently. Can feature in the finish. BELLASCENT (8) is in the mix on a seven-day back-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bellini Spritz to score.
