Grande Bellezza, Sooo Crazy and Pleasurize to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. GRANDE BELLEZZA (8) wasn’t far away at Hawkesbury after racing on speed and returns to the country circuit where she thrives. With the draw to suit, she looks primed to bounce back to winning ways. PLEASURIZE (4) was dominant leading throughout at Leeton, taking her record to three wins from five. The claim offsets the weight rise and she rates as a major threat again. DOLLY (7) is a consistent mare resuming over a pet trip for the Spackman camp. Produced some strong efforts last campaign that measure right up for this. Sure to be involved in the finish if presented on-song. HELLINDA (10) lifted last start with a close second at Corowa and with Boudvillain back aboard is among the key chances. SUTTON VELLA (3) has been leaving herself with too much to do but a more positive ride could see sharp improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grande Bellezza to win.
