Moderate tempo with Chirography leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. CHIROGRAPHY (3) went back-to-back, winning a 55 here and then found the grade a bit rich at Townsville. This suits her much better, and she can get back on track. MAJESTIC BLAZE (6) improved again, winning a Townsville Maiden and expect that to stack up. The longer sprint should be right up her alley. ARGUABLE (2) won this grade at Townsville at big odds and will be better for it. Will be in the finish holding that form. HANGIN' AROUND (1) has a key jockey switch to Wiggins and would be a hope forgiving the latest effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chirography appeals most.
