Cracking tempo with Swordplay and Vein Girl leading the way. FORGOTTEN SPIRIT (8) goes well for hoop Jones who has a win and a second from just two steers and will be ready to peak now fourth run back from a spell. Should be in this contest for a long way. The well-related SWORDPLAY (9) (full to 4xG3 winner and G2 placed Recommendation) was an impressive winner at Warwick Farm last time out and successful rider King sticks in the stirrups. Respect from the Baker yard. SISSTAINABLE (5) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome at the latest outing but the form prior was good enough for a race of this calibre. Worth another chance. VEIN GIRL (6) has been plying her trade in Group company and will find this assignment a touch easier. Sure to do much better. GET READY LASS (7) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,9,5,6.
