Simply Luscious is the likely leader at a slick tempo. Good race and oodles of pace. MEET ME HALFWAY (6) was a winner two back then ran on hard for a close-up fourth in this class last time. Has placed 2/2 this course and distance and looks tough to stop. SIMPLY LUSCIOUS (8) is a local who is flying this time in with back-to-back wins over 1000m when leading throughout. Has placed 2/3 here at home. Drops in weight after the claim and will take catching again. MONIX (1) boasts a great record on the home track with three wins including two wins and two minors from five tries at the sharp dash here. Drawn for a soft run and should be in the finish. UP THE FRONT (3) ran on strongly last time in what was the first run for the new yard. Should be doing the same again. EPIC CENTRE (5) strips fitter and expected to figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Meet Me Halfway.
