Looks to be plenty of pace with Purple Rose and Justice Warrior battling for the lead. PURPLE ROSE (9) finds her race third up on the quick back-up after finishing a creditable on pace third over 1200m at Goulburn in the heavy conditions. Gets the gun run again and should prove too good for these. LADY FELINA (12) failed to fire in two career runs and returns from a lengthy break. Fitted with two solid trials and look for her attacking the line late. STAR PREDICTION (1) comes here in peak condition and a win looks imminent. Stuck on well when back in trip for a handy second over 1300m at Scone. Capable of overcoming the wide draw and playing a leading role. JUSTICE WARRIOR (2) finished runner up at his first two runs back, before failing to finish off in the soft (7) going when sixth over 1100m at Hawkesbury. This is much easier and improvement expected. DEVINE CRUSADER (4) encouraging effort on debut and can surprise again at the each way price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Purple Rose to shed her maiden status.
