Maccbi to go to the lead at a genuine tempo.
Very nice maiden. SCREEN ICON (12) is a three-year-old filly who has contested black-type races at all six starts to date. Has not been disgraced in her two runs this prep in legs of the Princess Series. Plenty of depth to the opposition here but her class should shine through. BEYOND THE REEF (11) settled midfield then drove hard late but just missed when resuming over 1100m at Hawkesbury last time out. Lightly raced filly who looks perfectly placed over the extra 100m on a more spacious circuit. MACCBI (3) returned from an 11-month spell and recorded a fifth minor placing when runner-up over 1100m at Hawkesbury recently. Has less upside than some of these but should be competitive as always. READY MADE HEIR (5) worked home well but never looked a threat first-up over 1000m at Hawkesbury last start. Rarely far from the money and an extra 200m helps. BRUTAL ADVANCE (1) caught the eye first-up at Moruya and is not out of place in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Screen Icon to grab a confidence boosting win.
