Without frontrunners engaged Oly's Choice gets the chance to lead. SILENT DIVA (7) is putting together some solid results, having finished outside the quinella slot only once in her past 6 starts. On the back-up after knocking off hot favourite Truly Loyal last week, which was her toughest test, and there's no reason she can't go on with it here with Willie Pike hopping aboard. ARCADIA KNIGHT (1), who Pike rode to a first-up win last start, will be better for that and suited up in trip here. Loses Pike but gets a 3kg claim for Tsang. OLY'S CHOICE (2) returned from a break with a solid fourth, winding up late over 1400m at this track after settling well back. Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and the extra ground looks a big plus. SUPERNATURAL (6) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Drawn out but does go back and work into her races. SPEED DREAM (5) wasn't far off Arcadia Dream last start, hasn't drawn too badly here and looks ready for another crack at this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silent Diva to win.
