A strong tempo is assured with Aristocratic Girl and Bon Vader leading the charge. BON VADER (1) resumes here but the form he showed in his first preparation was good enough for a race of this calibre. Revved up for this with a recent trial victory and hails from a very astute yard. Can return a winner. VALENCIA ROC (4) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in all five runs last campaign and strikes a winnable contest here. Has to be included in calculations. YOWERI (5) brings NSW formlines to the table and any market support must be respected. ARISTOCRATIC GIRL (8) has hit the top-four at her past four outings and looks to be working up to a maiden victory. In the mix. MEASURE OF TIME (10) returns from a break. Sharpened with a trial win at Doomben. Opened last campaign with a fourth at Donald over 1350m. Rates a place chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,4,5,8.
