Plenty of early pressure from Delicate Ruler, Diamond Light and Sanctions battling for the lead over Native Flower. NATIVE FLOWER (6) bumped into a smart one over 1100m here last time out, finishing 2.2L away. There's nothing like what she bumped into last time in this event and she looks to get a lovely run once more. Should get her chance and can go one better this time. SANCTIONS (4) led the field at Bunbury last start over 1200m and got the job done to shed the maiden tag. She has enough speed to press on from the draw, and she rates well off the last start effort. Can go on with the job. NATURAL GEM (7) disappointed last start following a good effort first-up at Ascot over 1000m. She draws a better gate this time around and she is a third-up winner in the past. Can bounce back to form. DIAMOND LIGHT (8) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Native Flower.
