Golden Pierro and Khabalov can set an even tempo. SEA STRIKE (1) is racing in great form, including an Albury win two back before finishing third at Sandown Lakeside last time. Well placed, honest and hard fit. Goes close. The rest are trying to work back to their best. REBADGE (3) has been thereabouts last couple but will find this a shade easier and off the inside gate won't get a better chance to find winning form. INEZ (8) is coming off a run at Flemington where she finished at the tail. This way easier though and back in the right grade can bounce. KHABALOV (6) also tackled city class latest when seventh in the LR Port Adelaide Guineas at Morphettville, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner. Will find this much easier. Major player. GOLDEN PIERRO (5) wasn't far away last time in a better run and is edging towards form. Should be thereabouts again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on the in-form Sea Strike.
