Solid tempo anticipated with Casino Royale and Versaille pressing forward with Liberty Dame not far away. VERSAILLE (4) got the job done here first-up in a photo before a 1.2L defeat most recently when the race favourite. She'll be fitter again for that effort though and she can dip in her ratings second-up. Happy to put her on top here as she can return to her best third-up. DEEP DISCRETION (2) gets the blinkers on first time today after sticking on well over 1400m last time out. She was only 2.7L off the winner last time out, but was in good touch prior and coming right back in trip looks a good move. Her record under this scenario is great and she's a leading chance. BRAVE SHOT (7) will find this easier than recent efforts, being switched into the Hammarquist yard since his last run at Bunbury. The inside draw can see him close to the speed and a better effort is on the cards. KARRI ON (9) finished off nicely last start over 1100m and is not to be discounted up in trip. SHOOT TO FAME (3) can improve second-up and over further here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Versaille can bounce back to winning ways.
