Moderate pace only with Nature Boy leading Tipsy Miss. LIBBY (5) made a mid-race move to join the lead then battled on well to hang on for second last time out over 1900m at Armidale. In the money two back over 2217m at Grafton so this trip holds no fears. Hasn't won for a while but this looks a nice race for her. QUIRKY PRINCESS (6) is a three-start maiden but did a fine job to finish second in a Class 1 over 2105m at Tuncurry recently. Has more upside than these and can break through without surprising. DIPIERDOMENICO (1) will appreciate getting out to this trip and can improve on some recent plain performances. TIPSY MISS (4) is yet to race beyond 1500m so this is uncharted waters. One for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Not a race that inspires confidence - maybe a box quinella 5-6-1.
