See Ya Later Baby to set a strong early tempo joined by Lucky Fortuna pushing on from an outside draw. SEE YA LATER BABY (2) has good early speed and is drawn to get every chance. Has been ticking along nicely this campaign and drops back to a winning trip. Only has to hold his form to take plenty of stopping. CHILLCUZ (7) is proving frustrating for punters but is busting to break through. Has an ugly to draw to overcome but gets in well with the claim and with even luck can land the winning blow. DUO PERNA (4) has been a flashing light in his two runs back. Will appreciate the extra 100m but is drawn to get back again. Watch for him late. OUR SASSY LADY (9) makes her stable debut for the Tzaferis camp and while this looks short of her preferred trip, she did knock off her maiden over this journey, albeit a long time ago. Also been readied with a stack of jumpouts, so should be forward enough. Inside alley another bonus. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: See Ya Later Baby to win.
