Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. OCEAN TSUNAMI (2) stepped out over 1700m for the first time last start and did a good job to drive hard and get up for second in a similar race at this track. Wears winkers for the first time today. Very fit and ideally placed to go one better. SWEET JUSTICE (3) led all the way for a soft win in a Class 1 over the mile here 20 days ago. Progressive mare who is open to further improvement at just the fourth run of the preparation. ZOUGO BOSS (9) wasn't suited going back in distance last start so his midfield finish at Tamworth should be overlooked. Placed at his only 1700m outing and with a cosy run from the inside alley he should be there at the pointy end of the race. MAPLES (10) started favourite and registered a gutsy win on debut over 1450m at Muswellbrook recently. Bred to want a bit of ground so this looks a nice follow-up assignment. CASTERLY ROCK (4) is rarely far away and he loves the sting out of the ground. Solid each-way prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ocean Tsunami to win.
