Even tempo with Star Croupier crossing from the outside gate and leading. Tough race with the majority out of winning form. LA PLAGE (12) is a progressive type who was outclassed in a lead-up to the SA Oaks. Runner-up in a similar race to this two back and gets chance to atone. WEST INDIES (3) was fourth in the VRC St Leger two back which augurs well for this. Ran on late last time and this race is easier so have to include on best form. NORDIC PRIDE (4) has been racing in tougher grade. Has the big claim and can do much better at this level. LITTLEBITCHEEKY (9) is a lightly raced filly who was third last start over 1800m at Horsham. Key runner who will be finishing hard. SUGGESTED PLAY: La Plage can atone.
