Expecting plenty of speed from Express Payment, Lady Lucifer and Irama from Treporti. You'd love to own a stable full of gallopers like LADY LUCIFER (8) who has only missed a drum once in ten career starts. Goes well for hoop Lang who has two wins and a placing from just three steers and will be rock-hard fit for this. Anticipating another strong showing. ALDOLFITO (4) has been right there at the past couple and looks ready for the step-up to the seven-furlong journey now. Rates among the leading chances. EXPRESS PAYMENT (7) returned in good order with a close-up second at Toowoomba and will have derived a stack of benefit from that hit-out. Don't underestimate. IRAMA (10) next best from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Lucifer to win again.
