A solid tempo is anticipated with Nesrine and Balmain Darling kicking up to hold out the next wave. THAMES (2) worked home well when second-up to be beaten just 1.6 lengths by the in-form Manukau over this distance at Canterbury last start. Generally hits peak form third-up and the blinkers going on is a statement from the Portelli yard. OPEN SECRET (4) returns after a five-month spell. Tackled three Group 2 fillies' races last prep so the stable holds her in high esteem. Trialled twice of late so she should be forward enough to run a bold race. VANESSI (6) made it a frustrating four minor placings in a row when a game third over 1200m at Canterbury recently. Hard to imagine she will get any better at the seventh run of the prep. Each-way claims again. NESRINE (3) last appeared 15 weeks ago when she made it three wins from three for the campaign, all over today's trip at Hawkesbury. Deservedly setting the bar a little higher this prep. DEAR JEWEL (10) caught the eye when resuming at Wyong last start and the extra 100m will assist. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Thames.
