Loads of speed from Alliri, Flying Thinker and Gangsta Granny burning turf in the early stages. Tough race with plenty of chances. CODETTA (2) is a progressive filly with the three wins from six starts. Going quickly through her grades and was a touch unlucky in the heavy going when a narrow second over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Maps to get the gun run and comes out of a strong race. ALLIRI (4) is another improver who's progressed strongly in her first prep. Chasing her third straight victory after scoring a slick win over 1100m at Randwick Kensington on January 15. Has the speed to get across from the awkward draw and figure prominently. ART VOLANT (1) kept fresh for this and comes out of a decent form race after running fifth to Unstopabull over 1100m at Randwick. Kept ticking over with a 900m trial at Rosehill. Each way player. SCINTILLA (7) nice filly who showed a good turn of foot when a slick maiden winner over this course and distance at the latest. Drops sharply in weight with the claim and can handle the rise in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,4,1,7.
