Moderate tempo with Dolce Dior leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. LUNA BAY (8) at her top for this and doesn't have to improve much to win here. Back in class when she covered a stack of ground in the run to hold on and finish third over 2100m at Wyong in this grade. Tongue-tie goes on and worth noting her lone victory came at this track. Solid top-three contender. INSPIRED LEGEND (2) improving gelding who stepped-up in trip with a comfortable victory over 1500m at this track second-up. Looks set for a good campaign and should be even stronger over the 2000m. Each way. BEAUTY SWIFT (9) got off the mark at start two last time in and set to peak third-up today. Surged late with an unlucky second over 1700m at Scone. Looks up to this grade and expected to run out a strong 2000m. This looks well within his grasp. MISS STALWART (5) went back early from her wide draw on the quick back-up with a respectable sixth over 1800m at Wagga. Racing in career best form and can surprise with the 3kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,2,9,5.
