Real Deluxe is the likely leader at a slick tempo. REAL DELUXE (2) jumps for the rail and can control the race. She led and won at Albany as expected and then raced at Scarpside in stronger than this, beaten 2.3L. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and is ready to win. MAGICASH (4) has the ability, but has been off the scene for 343 days. She was a comfortable Belmont Maiden winner on debut and then won a CL1 here, but was subsequently disqualified, along with her two starts following. Draws inside, and Pike's booking suggests she's pleasing. The betting will be key. DIAMOND DANCER (5) resumes and two run back went close at Ascot behind a good one. That stacks up, and she's placed 2/2 fresh. She owns a Belmont trial win, and Fiore rides. OREGON HIKER (1) was back on track at Northam and is proven third-up. He has a soft barrier and a handy 3kg claim. He's in the mix as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Real Deluxe with the race form/fitness.
