Keen tempo with Gazz and The Streaker prominent. GAZZ (1) made the perfect return at headquarters last month when running them off their feet in front. Strips fitter with that run under his belt and is well placed to keep the ball rolling. Expecting him to take plenty of catching again. RICH LADY (11) has become a perennial placegetter but lines up well for this with Toeroek sticking. Will get a lovely trail behind the strong tempo and just needs the gap to appear. FIABESCA (9) returns and has been readied with a sharp jumpout. Is another that will tuck in behind the early speed and be sweating to burst through. ELEGANT LILLY (8) impressed with a brave pillar-to-post-win to shed her maiden tag here last start. Obviously tougher this time but will be in it for a long way. It's been over two years since SANTASIA (2) broke her maiden but she is knocking on the door and desperate to break through soon. Drawn sticky but holds claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gazz can make it two on the bounce.
