Jared should lead at a keen tempo. NINGALOO REEF (1) scored a deserved win first up and is a proven weight carrier. A horse to keep following in any conditions. BELLA CORAZON (8) can mix her form but finds a sweet first-up draw with wet ground no issue. MAGIC SHADOW (16) should be right at his top fourth up and has drawn to get every chance. Capable and has to be included in the main chances. IMPERIAL STATE (6) the best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen’s Rhapsody win.
