Plenty of pace likely from Safe Rappa, Image Of Pro and Missijay battling for the lead from Pray For Lucy. MISSIJAY (3) bolted in two back before a 1.2L defeat most recently at Albany over the 1500m journey. She's back in trip today which is a little niggle, but she should be up on the speed from a nice barrier. Should set a good tempo and be tough to run down. SONG STORY (6) was too bad to be true as favourite last start when well back and never featuring. Up in trip looks ideal now and his run two back at Albany rates well. Can bounce back in a big way. IMAGE OF PRO (2) may not have run out the extra journey last start and drops back to the 1300m journey today. He was in good form prior and it wouldn't surprise to see him close to the speed. He looks well placed in this company and he can make his presence felt. PRAY FOR LUCY (1) resumes today with a trial under his belt and this looks a suitable race for him. MISS LAQUETTA (10) will find this easier than recent races and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Missijay can get back to winning ways.
