Genuine tempo with God's Grin leading the way. GOD'S GRIN (5) spiked her figures winning a CL1 here over 1400m and steps up to 1675m seeking a hat-trick. Has a key jockey switch to Chris Parnham, and she looks capable of going on. ATLANTIS BEACH (1) has been racing in stronger metro company, and there was only a lip in it over a mile at Belmont last time. That's good form, and he's been kept on the fresh side. Maps well and is a live chance. AWESOME FORCE (4) resumed at Belmont much improved, and then was backed off the map winning his Maiden this track/trip. He impressed in both, and fitter again can't be ruled out. OMERTA GRACE (3) is proving hard to catch but got closer at Pinjarra last time after a slow start. Finally draws a low barrier, and winning rider Pike is a key jockey switch replacing the apprentice. Has to be kept onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to God's Grin.
