Plenty of pace with Lady Of Savoy and Fussy As up front, pressured by Silver Chaos and Strasbeau. Without doubt the race of the day. SWIFTIE HARRIET (1) won on debut at this track and distance before progressing to a series of great runs in Stakes races during the Carnival. There's no doubt she will be better over further and the 61.5kg is a decent impost but she could just be too good for this lot. She can settle in the first half of the field and will be hard to hold out. ZOUTRAIL (10) draws well and has no weight after the claim. She has tactical speed and the ability to roll forward and give them something to catch. SILVER CHAOS (6) is consistent and looks a top-three chance back from a freshen-up, while FUSSY AS (3) has further upside after a maiden win last start. Good race with a few winning hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Swiftie Harriet to win.
