Pace only fair with Thunder Park rolling to the lead ahead of Prestige Ole and Shades Of Stardom. ARADEO (8) resumes. She showed good ability in four runs last time in, never missing a place and going to the paddock off a dead-heat maiden win at Pakenham as favourite. She can improve again this time in and go on with the job. CUSHIONED (9) resumes. She was last seen running in the G3 SA Fillies Classic having run midfield in the G1 Australasian Oaks prior. This trip will be on the sharp side but she can win on class. SUMALUV (11) is coming off a maiden win at Bendigo and has race fitness on her side. She'll be hard to hold out. CYBER LINK (2) has been thereabouts in two runs this time in and comes back a notch in class with D Lane booked, respecting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aradeo on top.
