Cosmic Vixen should spear straight to the front of the small field. LAVANDULA (5) couldn't have been more impressive fresh winning by a space here last time. Unbeaten from two tries at the trip and can only be fitter. Hard to beat again. DEMOJO (1) was also a well-fancied fresh-up winner when scoring over 1000m at Mildura. More weight but is a second-up winner, drawn well and can only be fitter. EL SALTO (3) is a veteran galloper with a strong record but a little off his best lately. Course and distance winner aided by the claim and always worth keeping safe. HIATUS (14) resuming from a lay-off. Coming along well including a win in a Flemington jump-out. Opened last campaign with a fifth at Flemington over 1100m. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Lavandula.

An inside gate is a big advantage. Well back in grade and gets chance to atone. |
