Expecting Elson Boy to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. JEWELLERY (8) Godolphin-trained mare who returned good closing splits first-up when a narrow second as fav over 1100m at Canterbury on May 1. Drop in weight suits and maps to get the gun run. Looks set for a good prep and handles all conditions. MIDNIGHT OPAL (2) will be hard fit for this fourth-up and drops sharply in grade with the claim. Up in trip when a narrow seventh in the LR South Pacific Classic at Randwick on April 13. Kept fresh and undefeated this track. Winkers go on and looks the value play. YISKA (17) has needed racing to bring him to his top and no excuses here fifth-up. Comes out of a strong form race when powering late to secure fourth behind Disneck over 1200m at Rosehill on April 27. Handles all conditions and stays in the mix. BOJANGLES (1) jumped in grade when a fighting second over 1400m in the G3 Hawkesbury Guineas on May 4. Going quickly through his grades and can take a hand in the finish despite drawing out with the 60kg. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,2,17,1.
