Expecting Valiant Bomb to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SNEAKY CHOICE (4) ran a couple of eye-catchers to open this prep then appreciated the step up to 1500m last start when the narrow winner of a Class 1 here. Won't find this any harder and with Tommy Berry retaining the mount she looks the testing material. RULE OF FAITH (10) made it four top-three finishes in a row when she powered home to get up for third last time out over 1500m at Goulburn. Will settle back in the field so a bit of pace would be useful. Should be in the finish again. SABLONNEUSE (8) comes here following a comfortable win at BM58 level over 1400m at the Sapphire Coast 12 days ago. Tackles a better field and is untried at the distance but with a little weight relief and the blinkers on he does create some interest. LA MORRA (9) has been freshened up since a distant second in a Beaumont staying race on 2 February. Should be hitting the line hard. GREY SECRET (3) is a question mark coming back in distance but she is racing very well and must go in the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sneaky Choice to salute again.
