Wild Pharaoh and Song For Rosie can be prominent. ROSE OF DUBAI (2) lightly raced mare who finds a much easier test today after disappointing in two runs back. Created a big impression on debut last April when a slick winner at Newcastle. Back without a trial and will prove hard to stop. CALYPSO ROCKET (1) bounced off his eye-catching first-up run at Randwick with a dominant Maiden victory over 1200m at this track. Doesn't get the same map favours today and finds a very weak C1. Respect. SONG FOR ROSIE (5) racing well and set to peak fourth-up. Will find this a much easier contest after finishing fourth in the small field over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Value contender. WILD PHARAOH (6) disappointed when having her first run for the new yard with a fading sixth over 1000m at this track. Strips fitter now and gets another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,1,5,6.
