A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. BETWITCHERY (2) is racing well without winning and looks to have found a nice race here. She's been tackling open 3yo company of late, only beaten 1.2 lengths in a strongly run 1400m race at Caulfield last time out, sticking on very well all things considering. Now gets Blake Shinn on from barrier two and comes back to BM64 grade where she rates highly. DIVINE JUSTICE (6) did enough fresh in a bunched finish over 1200m and should strip fitter for a suitable rise in trip. She's open to further improvement and just needs a good ride from the draw. FLATTERED (5) didn't see out a mile last time but her previous form is good for this. Should be hard to hold out. ICY POLE (1) ran well fresh and has the ability to figure in the finish while MISS CASTELVECCHIO (13) is promising and will be running on strongly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Betwitchery.
