Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. PEARLER (3) made it back-to-back wins at Orange last start when holding on in a photo finish. She looks to be trending the right way this campaign and the inside draw should see her prominent in the run. Form out of her last win has been solid and she can bring up the hat-trick. VELIA (1) won well two back at Gosford before a disappointing run at Kembla most recently. Coming back to country level now is a big tick and Buckley remains in the saddle. Still has plenty of upside and a return to her best form would see her hard to hold out. MIDNIGHT AFFAIR (4) comes back from the 1800m journey today. Her form over the mile this campaign has been strong and she has enough tactical speed to offset the draw. Can feature in the finish. TJAKA (6) has always hinted she's got ability but never seemingly puts it all together. Out in trip and back in grade now can see her put her best foot forward. JAMARNI (2) was better last start and can go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pearler can win again.
