Alpine Thunder and First Line can be prominent. This is a good contest. MS TASMANIA (3) is a well-performed mare ready to fire. She has won both third-up outings and prior to spelling missed a whisker at Launceston in the 3YO Classic. Has been kept on the fresh side and gets the nod. GEEGEES MISSILE (7) is a model of consistency and is busting to win her fifth race from 10 starts. Brings strong form from Open 3s and tumbles in weight. Benefits from an inside gate and jockey Craig Williams' engagement. PRINCE OF KHATUN (8) comes out of the same race as the above and there was nothing between them. brought spacious synthetic wins to that and has the form hoop aboard today. ALPINE THUNDER (1) led and won a 68 at Hobart by a space (SP$2.3). Will get every chance to control the race and will take some catching. POPILITA (4) will be around the mark forgiving the latest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Ms Tasmania.
