Hot tempo expected from Yiasou and Rose's Legacy. CUESTA (6) got off the mark in fine style last time when racing away with it in the straight after stalking the leader. The added trip looks no concern, though will need a smart steer from the wide alley. Can repeat the dose. SIMPLY NUTBUSH (4) backs up quickly after missing by a head at Canberra over this trip. Is drawn to get all the favours and doesn't need to improve much to get the verdict. PEARLER (7) finally broke through at the latest when lifting off the canvas to stick her neck out. Full of confidence now and can keep the ball rolling. ROSE'S LEGACY (9) was sound when resuming at Hawkesbury. Fitter now and can give backers a bold sight in front. PRO VELOCITY (8) was a dominant maiden winner first-up at Hawkesbury. Two mixed runs since but should be peaking now and gets the key booking of Boudvillain. Has a tricky draw to overcome but is a live chance. ATTESTOR (12) is worth keeping safe in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cuesta to win.
