Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. VOVO (16) won the latest of 2 trials and only finished a short-head off the winner when finishing second on debut here nearly 4 weeks ago on a heavy track. There is more depth to this field, but she will also be better for the experience. She is bred to revel in the wet ground, and she should pick up her first win before long. OH NOT REALLY (4) was in the money in both of his starts during his initial campaign in December and will be a lot stronger after his spell. He has also been showing plenty at the trials, and even from a wide gate, he can be a threat in this. ABENDER (1) hit the front late at Doomben last start and fought all the way to the line, despite being outfinished late and finishing third. The drop from 1200m to 1000m will help him, and he can go close to taking this out. CIPHERTEXT (10) has been a game runner-up in 3 of her 4 starts and has no problem with a wet track. She meets an even field, and is another with each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vovo to win.
