Expecting Boitumelo to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip.
LAMENTUM (2) is yet to miss a place in five attempts over this course and distance and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. SPELLHOUND (8) got the maiden victory out of the way last time out and will have taken a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and is sure to run well again. GENERAL HIPPO (3) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to play a role in a race like this. Comes here with definite top-three claims while fresh. Former Victorian DEEP SECRET (12) is having her first run for the new stable but has produced two solid recent trials in preparation for this and any market confidence must be respected. THE LAST SAGA (1) only needs some luck from the wide draw to make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lamentum to win.
