Plenty of pressure primarily from Sweet Proposal, Savaii and Super Duck. Former NSW galloper SAINT ALDWYN (10) has appreciated the move up north with two wins and a placing from three local outings and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Can continue the rich vein of form against this line-up. MORE LOVE (11) was game in defeat last start when third over 1200m at Eagle Farm. Should be peaking now and is ready to show what she can do out slightly in trip. SAVAII (6) is racing well this campaign including a last start second over 1400m at Beaudesert. Looks an each way chance. OUTAKANDY (3) in strong form winning two races with two placings from five starts this prep and last start winner at Sunshine Coast, can measure up again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Saint Aldwyn.
