Looks to be plenty of pace with Major Desire and Graced battling for the lead. GRACEFUL ELLEN (1) won well at Bathurst when resuming as a short priced favourite then was a shade disappointing at Moruya. Find this a bit easier and claim and draw give her the chance to bounce back. SWEET PAREE (3) has been runner-up at her past two in a return to form so she only has to continue on as she has been to be a major player in this. SUNDROP (4) just found one better last time out at Gundagai. Racing in good form and has to be considered. WINEHOUSE (7) could be an improver after a second-up flop on a wet track. Did win well first-up. IMPENDING LOVE (9) next best after a handy last start showing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Graceful Ellen to win. Save on Sweet Paree.
