Strong tempo, primarily from Thought Control and Hollywood Heiress. THOUGHT CONTROL (5) will find this a little easier than her second on debut six-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 4 lengths at the end of 1400m at Greyville. Will benefit from that experience so she will prove tough to beat. HEAVENLY MAFIA (3) improved last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at Fairview. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. SOVEREIGN GEM (1) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1400m at Greyville, beaten 5 lengths. Sits handy in the run. Progressive type who is among the leading chances. ANNIE'S SONG (13) was in the money at Greyville when resuming two runs back then could only manage fourth at Greyville over 1600m eight weeks ago. Should be camped just off the leaders. Has ability and rates among the chances.
