Charlie Tango, Angel Ladder and City Of Tears will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Sweet Hesitation and Crypto Miss.
DR FARTHING (1) returned in fine fashion with a strong win over this track and trip and winning hoop Du Plessis sticks in the irons. Faces a similar assignment here and should be right there at the business end. The well-related ANGEL LADDER (4) (half to G3 winner The Novelist) has placed over this course and distance, draws the inside alley and gets 1.5kg weight relief with the claim. Plenty to like about her prospects. VIVIKA (5) is one from one over this sprint journey and has a win and a second from two first-up attempts. Top-three credentials while fresh. THE POOL BOY (2) has a win and a second from three spins around this circuit and is another to get some weight off. In the mix. UNFAITHFUL (9) has put back-to-back wins together and shouldn't be dismissed lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Dr Farthing.
