Ready To Schipp should lead at a keen tempo. RALPHIE (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in third over 1100m at Ipswich. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. PARETO (4) finished 3.5 lengths behind the winner in ninth place when resuming over 1200m last start at Eagle Farm. Has a fair record when second-up, including two top-three finishes. Ready to find peak form this time. SPIRIT OF BRODIE (5) booted up from a low draw to stalk the pace and lifted to score a gutsy win by a neck at this track over 1150m last time out. Has a win and three minor placings from six starts at this course and distance and is one of the main contenders. READY TO SCHIPP (2) is back at the races for the first time since January 10. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Doomben. Worth plenty of thought while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Ralphie.
