Pace looks to be genuine with Ambitious Creek and Easy Beast matching motors in advance of Our Fortuna and Navy Gold. GREATESTOFEASE (3) was in good touch earlier this prep when stringing two wins together and has since been savaging the line after getting too far back. Drops slightly in grade on the short turnaround and only needs to hold her form to be winning. NAVY GOLD (1) hasn’t threatened yet this campaign but finds an easier assignment and should settle closer from the kind draw. Suspect he’s hitting his straps now and can improve sharply. AMBITIOUS CREEK (7) was a strong all-the-way winner in town three back. Not as effective in his last two but gets the chance to bounce back from the favourable draw and under the light weight. BLUE ISLES (4) doesn’t win often but has peaks that measure up. Don’t dismiss completely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Greatestofease to win.
