Expecting Shimshalar to take up the running with Onehundred Percent and Base Of Fire close at hand. BRAVE ACTION (1) will get a pleasant surprise when he looks around the mounting yard for his first-up assignment. Failed to make an impact at the back end of last prep but was tackling handier types. Has been tuned up with a nice hitout here and gets the 3kg claimer on to help at the weights. Bright return anticipated. MY RUBY (8) doesn't win out of turn but boasts peaks that measure right up and is 1/1 over this course and distance. Has a wide alley to overcome but is aided under the big weight with the 3kg claimer engaged. Easier this time but can't afford to get too far back. VAMPIRE SLAYER (15) was much better last start at Clare. Hasn't broken through for a very long time but gets her chance down in the weights for Milnes. Don't overlook. MY HARUCONI (5) returns. Is a capable type on her day but will have to lug the big weight and could land in a tricky spot from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brave Action to win.
