Moderate tempo with Sebilla leading the way. GENTILESCHI (1) talented mare resuming with a sound first up record. Two of her three wins have come over this trip and finds a winnable race with Bullock aboard. Fitted with the one 1000m trial and look for her launching late. BELLA KATHLEEN (8) unwanted in betting when having her first run for the Minervini stable, surprising with a dominant on pace win over 1500m at Newcastle. Placed on rain affected going and leading apprentice rides. Each way. BALLINDERRY SAL (2) jumps sharply in weight after making it two wins in succession when a fast finishing winner over 1400m at Randwick in Highway class. Drops in grade and unbeaten on heavy tracks. Will be surging late. BUBA (4) back in trip and grade after finishing a plugging third over 1850m at Newcastle. Saves her best form for the wet tracks and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,8,2,4.
