A solid tempo on the cards with Tassie Power heading them off. Even race but SKY EAGLE (9) looks well placed to return to winning form. Hasn't been far away since a win five back, including a near miss at this track and trip two back. Deserves a win and gets her chance. CORSA VELOCE (7) was knocking on the door with two subsequent seconds before a disappointing run over a little further on the synthetic at Devonport. Drawn for a soft run here and expected to give a sight. TASSIE POWER (6) looks the pace in the race and is another close to a win. Has the pace to lead and should give a sight again. ROYAL DISPATCH (1) is fitter for two runs back and should be ready to fire. Has placed this course and distance in open class last campaign. Best figures stack up and aided by the big claim here. WILLINGLY (13) is much better than last run off a wide gate. Low draw this time so gets a chance to atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sky Eagle gets her chance.
