Solid tempo anticipated with Ginger Jive and Cozzies Choice matching motors. MUST BE NICE (1) looks an exciting type on resumption. He was a big winner here two starts back before finishing just 0.5L away at Ascot last time out. That was 100 days ago now, but he's back to country level today and he'll be better for the debut campaign. Can go to another level now. VERSAILLE (7) resumes today for the Cowl stable after making the move from Victoria. Her latest trial here was very good and See sticks from that outing. She's a fresh winner in the past and a forward showing is anticipated. KARRI ON (12) missed narrowly two back before stepping up in trip last start where she was just fair. Back in trip slightly today looks a good move and if she gets some luck from the draw, she'll be right in the finish. LIVE LUCKY (6) gets the blinkers on first time today after missing by 3L here last time out. Expecting an improved run now. COZZIES CHOICE (10) is better than we saw last start and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Must Be Nice is the one to beat.
