Seydoux may get a soft lead. SEYDOUX (1) runs along and missed the hat-trick by a lip in better class. The 3kg claim takes care of the weight lift and a bounce is likely. PRINCESS MATOAKA (6) went back-to-back at Hobart and has been narrowly beaten here the two since. Has been freshened and has had a sharp tick-over trial. Winning rider Newitt is reunited. A chance to go one better. GEEGEE JET BY (2) is third-up and ready to show his best. Has a 2kg claim and is in the mix. WARICA (3) is better than the most recent form suggests. Comes back from Open grade and the 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Seydoux to win.
