Tag The Bride and Master Dubois will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. This race has taken a hit from scratchings and it leaves two horses dominating betting. COVERT MISSION (1) finished seventh when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only one length. This now looks very skinny and a repeat goes awfully close. TAG THE BRIDE (12) kept coming last time to finish 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1000m at this track. Her debut here last time in reads very well and she can improve again. They're clearly the two but of the rest, MYHOMECOMINGQUEEN (6) wasn't far away last time and can place from SPIDERMAN (4) who maps well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Covert Mission to win.
