Good pace from Science Degree, Sure Thing and Treasured Queen and they'll have company. SCIENCE DEGREE (6) has led them up this campaign, just being caught late in the race over 1200m. Back to this trip is a big bonus for him, as is the inside barrier and drop in weight. Things look to set up nicely for him here and he can go one better now. THE SHOWVINIST (7) wasn't far away over this track and trip first-up when beaten 0.9L. He'll be improved for that effort having come in without a trial. Drawn beautifully again today and he can make his presence felt. TWIST OF GOLD (9) has enough early speed to be up front from gate five as she was last time out with Faithfull on board. Second-up can be a tricky spot for her, but she was strong fresh and she's not to be discounted for this stable and jockey combo. PEARLY NUGGETT (1) won a trial here recently and usually races well fresh. Can feature. SURE THING (2) won't be far away recently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Science Degree can go one better now.
