Slick pace with Straand Beauty finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. CASSIEL (1) peaks and just missed the hat-trick last time in stronger at Randwick bet a $3.40F. JMac is a key jockey switch, and the Snowden-trained gelding can bounce straight back. STRAAND BEAUTY (2) is free running and won a 64 comfortably at Gosford as the market predicted. Has the handy 3kg claim and will likely cross over and control the race. He rates to be right in the finish. PRIMA BELLA (8) improved again, easily winning a 64 at Newcastle as favourite and she has upside. Deserves plenty of consideration. BRAVEHEART (4) posted a strong number winning this grade on a Kensington, and he wasn't ridden right out at Canterbury following, pulling up with an issue. Lloyd rides today, and stripping fitter can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cassiel.
