Strong tempo with Dream Of Ruby and Highlands leading the way over Bellarchi. HIGHLANDS (5) is racing well, winning his maiden softly two back, only run down late last time out to 1500m. Race-fit and should be right there in what looks a very winnable race after the favourite has come out. STORMBOURG (1) will find this easier than last time at Caulfield when not far away. He's only won the one race but is suited here and will be hard to hold out. IN HER EYES (3) can mix her form, okay on resumption before getting back and staying there at Sandown Hillside. Her best figures measure up. FOREVERINTIME (9) was close up in a very bunched finish fresh. She should come on from that and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Highlands to win.
