Xtreme and Spills to take up the running at a strong tempo. LADY ALABAMA (4) underrated mare who appreciated the firmer surface with a tough on-pace win over 1608m at this track. Senior rider goes on today and gets map favours. Sure to be thereabouts. FIVE RINGS (3) deep into the prep and like the way he closed off with a tidy fifth over 1400m at the Gold Coast. Among the chances and will be strong late. LOVE 'N' ROCKETS (8) drops sharply in weight with the claim and in career best form. Strong through the line with a narrow third over 1608m at this track. Hard fit and capable of taking this out. FICTION SOCIETY (10) relished the jump in trip with a sound victory over 1408m at Grafton. All three wins have come at this track and looks up to this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,3,8.
