Strong tempo with Raiderlicious and Sutherland leading from Ciphertext and Gee Eye Why. CIPHERTEXT (8) finally shed the maiden tag over this track and trip last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that dominant victory. Can go right on with the job now. The well-related MISS FLEETWOOD (10) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Rise Of The Masses) has been plying her trade in harder NSW contests and should appreciate the drop back in company here. Top-three conveyance. MARATHIA (9) strips fitter second-up and gets in light with the claim. Strong prospects. RAIDERLICIOUS (6) has only missed a drum once in five career outings and shouldn't be discounted lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,10,9,6.
