Strong tempo expected with Snowdome, Cut The Talk and Oscar's Fortune prominent. he first of the features today sees The Quokka winner JOKERS GRIN (1) return. He looks on song following an impressive trial win recently and he was a sharp winner first-up in a similar event first-up last campaign. With good speed engaged, he can sit just off them and pick up where he left off. REPOSSESSION (5) took the next step in the winter when stringing together three in-a-row in good figures, culminating with a Beaufine Stakes win most recently. His recent trial was solid and he still look an improving galloper. Looks the main danger on his recent form. OSCAR'S FORTUNE (2) hasn't won for a long time, but he has shown glimpses of his best form during his latest campaign in Victoria. He lands here without a trial, but the booking of Pike suggests he's ready to fire. Creates plenty of intrigue. SNOWDOME (3) can improve with the first-up run under his belt. CUT THE TALK (6) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Jokers Grin in the Prince Of Wales.
