Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Arlington Row and Befuddle. Really keen to stick with lightly raced filly ARLINGTON ROW (8) who has won her past two impressively. The margin was only a neck at Cranbourne last time but she ran strong overall time in a good BM64. She drops 2kg into this and Meech sticking from barrier one sees her hold the front and prove very hard to run down. TORSHEEN (1) is flying, only beaten by Point Barrow in G3 company two back, good again last time behind a very sharp filly in Extragalactic. She draws wide again but can push on and is suited this level. Not sure what to do with CHATEAU EZE (5) who hasn't quite delivered on some early promise. The fresh run at 1100m was good, her past two not so much albeit only beaten three lengths last time. She can improve. PRESTIGE SNITZEL (2) resumes with the ability to win this, she may need further but can sprint well. NAIFAH (3) also resumes with Group form last time in, respecting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arlington Row to win.
