Icon Of Style to take charge ahead of She's Enuff at a strong tempo.
Very open affair. CHILLING (11) returned from a twenty-week spell with a close fourth over 1210m at Port Macquarie. Yet to fill a placing in five first-up runs so that was an encouraging effort. Up in class but capable of taking this out. ICON OF STYLE (8) raced handy and refused to lie down when resuming over 1300m here last time, eventually finishing fifth but beaten under a length. Will take a lot from that run and will be hard to get past. COSMIC FORTUNE (13) stepped back in distance and returned to form at her latest run, charging home late to get up for second over 1000m at this track. Loves racing here and the extra ground is in her favour. VETOED (12) in back from a nine-week break. Missed by a whisker in a similar race to this when fresh from a spell at Grafton last prep. Must be considered. SUPER JAIE (2) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chilling each-way.
