Slick tempo to be established Plaisir and Bugatti Gold. CHOSEN MISS (5) has gone much better than her last two finishes suggest. Is ticking along and strikes a very suitable assignment back in this grade. Expecting her to take some stitching. ONE SKY ABOVE US (4) hit the line nicely last start at Gawler, only beaten 1.8L back in fifth. Anticipate she will relish the rise in trip on the quick back-up and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. Can give this a big shake. PLAISIR (3) never got involved last start when always well back. Was far below her best last start and can turn things around sharply over a track and trip he loves. Must take seriously. THINK TANK (1) has been hitting the line nicely this campaign and is building to a peak effort. Pannell sticking is a good push for his chances and he warrants consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chosen Miss the one to beat.
