Genuine tempo with Prucia leading the way.
PRUCIA (2) raced handy and looked to have her chance but just missed the placings in a busy finish last start over 1000m at Dalby. Draws the rails today so is sure to enjoy the gun run. Ready to win in a race that lacks depth. KAWATIRI (6) settled just off the pace and failed the threaten when the pressure went on last time out at Scone over 1000m. Still managed to beat half that field home and this isn't as tough so she is a live contender. LADY ENCRYPTEAU (7) mixes her form. Did manage to finish second here at this distance in late October - right in the mix with a repeat of that effort. BODHI (3) failed to threaten when fresh from a long spell at Roma recently. Open to plenty of improvement. SPIRIT OF DESTINY (4) is the pick of the others in a mediocre affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Prucia.
