Solid tempo headed by Super Rosa and Vegas Lights. MORNING COCOA (8) ended her initial prep with 4 second-place finishes in a row, including her last run at Matamata in the middle of May, where she charged home late to finish second by a short-head. She was third in a tune-up trial, and must be fit as she resumes over a mile. On top. WITH GRACE (7) has been third in her last couple of visits to this circuit. She is normally running on strongly, and only needs the right tempo to break through for an overdue maiden win. EMBOSSED (1) made up a lot of late ground when finishing second here 5 weeks ago in his first attempt over a mile. A good draw will help, and Craig Grylls is back in the saddle. Stick with him. SUPER ROSA (9) tried hard when finishing runner-up here 3 weeks ago. She gets a big swing in her draw, and has to be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Morning Cocoa will be ready to run a bold race fresh up.
