Reasonable tempo with Luna Bay probably leading but a few others should keep her honest.
SHOW BUSINESS (5) did a stack of work early then punctured over 1100m at Wyong last start when lining up for the first time in 52 days. Pulled up with a slow recovery which can explain the performance. Will be ridden quieter today and can turn things around. SPACEBALLS (3) was slowly away and gave away a big start on the bend but really knuckled down to just arrive in time over this distance at Hawkesbury recently. Shoulders 61kgs again in this stronger race but there is improvement to come at the third run of the campaign. TOTOKA (4) had to work to find the lead then tired in the concluding stages of a 1400m BM72 at Warwick Farm last time out. Better placed back in this grade and should be close to her peak after two runs back. ALLAPERCANTO (2) returned from a six-month spell in good order at Kembla last start. Goes well here and gets all the favours from the inside draw. TITANIUM MISS (1) is a consistent mare who has been in the money at both runs over this course and distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Show Business to bounce back and score.
