No noted leader but Kirsten, Tsunoda and Marlou Millie will be prominent. SKYHAWK (3) returns and has his first start for Sally Taylor. Showed ability back in NSW, without winning and the two trials in readiness have looked good. Has a sticky alley to overcome but he's a leading player. DEE STORMED (1) also returns and makes his stable debut for Renita Beaton. Tackled tougher maidens in his first two preps, so looks much better placed in this company. Trial in suggests a forward showing. BELLE OF THE BAYOU (5) finds it tough to get off the mark but hasn't been too far away this time in. Blinkers on first time should have her sharpened. Don't take lightly. MARLOU MILLIE (9) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Skyhawk to win.
