Secret Style, Sure Thing and Treasured Queen to match motors but there will be other pressure. Competitive contest. CELEBRITY PRINCE (1) was going better than his form suggested before bursting through to make light work of his rivals here last start. Gets some important weight off with the claim. No reason he can't repeat the dose. TREASURED QUEEN (6) is racing in fine order and comes off a determined second here, again showing early speed and sticking on bravely. She rarely runs a bad race and looms as a genuine danger off a 6-week freshen. SECRET STYLE (10) was heavily supported fresh but couldn't quite get the job done. She has a strong second-up record and should improve with the benefit of that run, making her a major player in this field. SURE THING (4) resumes and won first-up at Esperance over this trip last campaign. Has the pace to make his presence felt immediately and cannot be underestimated. BOAB BOY (9) is going better than his form reads and could easily find himself in the finish without a great deal of improvement. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Celebrity Prince to win again.
