Moderate tempo with Grand Millesime leading the way. GRAND MILLESIME (6) looks well placed to break through. Three runs to date have all been strong, just finding one better when in the market at Donald over 1350m, beaten a head. No issue going to the slightly longer trip here and she should get a lovely run near the speed. CARDAMOM (4) ran a good race on debut at Kilmore over 1200m when working home late. She should appreciate the rise in trip and looks a threat with natural improvement. GROOVY GRAN (7) is a filly by Toronado on debut for the Hayes yard. She's trialled well enough for this and looks well placed first time out. SOURCE OF DELIGHT (2) ran a solid race in tougher company first up at Pakenham behind a smart winner who has won a good race since. Fitter now and will take some beating. PRINCESS SAKIKO (9) was better last time and has claims off that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grand Millesime to win.
