Genuine tempo from Slay Queen leading Melodia Perfecta. CIAO BELLA MIA (14) due for a change of luck and can prove too good for these fifth-up. Stalked the speed and showed a ton of grit when fourth over 1400m at Illawarra Grange. Goes well here and no excuses today. KISSES FOR JODY (15) mixing her form this prep and will appreciate Martin's claim in this easier contest. Covered ground from the wide gate and gripped on to finish a close-up third over 1500m at Goulburn in BM66 class. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SACRED INFERNO (3) ran below expectations when he dropped in trip with the 60.5kg for a battling eighth over 1200m at Goulburn. Assess on the unlucky second two-back at Albury. Claim helps and has each way prospects. SLAY QUEEN (16) strengthened over the break and is holding her form this time in. Went out quickly from the wide gate and faded late when fifth over 1200m at Goulburn. Can take control early from the low barrier and deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ciao Bella Mia should be able to comfortably put these away.
