Expecting Too Darn Crystal to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. FROSE (4) was at long odds fresh up and was only caught late after leading, finishing runner-up by less than a length, before starting as the favourite 2 weeks ago at Yarra Valley, finishing runner-up again, but this time by only a head. She is down in class and ready to go one better. WHITE BEAR (2) will be peaking third up from a spell, and dropping right down in class. The blinkers go back on, and a form reversal is on the cards. INFINITE MATRIX (3) has the pace to hold his spot early on from the pole position, and he will also don the blinkers again. His recent freshen up would have done him no harm, and he can figure in the top 3 here. AFFIRMATIVE SMILE (9) has the ability and is a recent jumpout winner. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Frose is ready to win.
