Genuine tempo with Sexy Time to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SATURDAYS GIRL (4) resumes but hit the top-five in all five runs last campaign and strikes a very winnable contest here. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the outcome. MISSISSIPPI DREAM (7) will be ready to peak now fourth run back and must be respected from the Vandyke barn. Shapes as a leading hope. SEXY TIME (3) was well in the betting when facing the starter for the first time and where there's smoke there's fire. Can feature from the favourable draw. RATENOTICE (12) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome at the latest outing but the three runs prior were good enough for this. Can bounce back. AMAZARA (5) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Saturday's Girl to return a winner.
