Cha Cha Cha should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. HAMMOON HEROINE (4) lightly-raced mare who comes out of a solid rating contest third-up. Sat on the speed from the low draw and no match late for Agent Zero over 1600m at Canberra. Worth noting Agent Zero won a 1800m race at Randwick on Saturday. Hard to hold out. THUNDER LIGHTS (6) improving miler who relished the heavy (9) conditions when demolishing his rivals by 4.5 lengths to shed his Maiden tag over 1509m at Port Macquarie. Claim helps and good enough to test some of his more fancied rivals. GO GLENN (3) jumps up to the 1600m for the first time after he stalked the pace to finish a respectable fourth over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Bred to get the trip and trained locally. BALLPARK (2) Zoustar gelding yet to see a rain-affected track. Jumped quickly in trip second-up with the 59kg for a disappointing seventh over 1600m at Kembla Grange. Fitter now in a weaker race and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hammoon Heroine is expected to go close.
