Murmullo is expected to lead at a slick tempo. CAMPARI TWIST (5) is in the smart Laurie yard and has laid down a firm foundation for this contest. She was an easy winner this grade at Ballarat at her only third-up start, and has the blinkers applied for the first time. The gate is awkward, but winning ride Coffey is reunited, and count on him to manage. YULONG STORM (4) is busting to win and his nose defeat at Seymour more than stacks up. He also has a sticky barrier, but should find cover and go close. Moody-Coleman trained SHE SMASHES (6) resumed off Listed Grade at Geelong and failed to threaten at any stage (vet cleared). She is proven second up and draws low with the blinkers on for the first time. She's right up to this, and quick improvement is on the cards. MURMULLO (8) led and spaced a country Maiden field first-up. She's jumped out since and has the speed to clear the tricky gate. MAID IN DUBAI (2) resumes and is proven fresh. Has the rails gate and is in the mix as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Campari Twist.
