Without a designated pacemaker it will probably turn into a dash home. NAILS MURPHY (1) saves his best form for this mile journey remarkably only missing a drum once in 13 attempts. Racing high on confidence of late and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. LARIDAE (9) goes well for hoop Baker who has two wins and two placings from six steers and again gets the benefit of her claim. Expected to feature in the finish. SMART AS SMART (5) returned in good order with a solid victory here and winning rider Bayliss sticks in the stirrups. Can go right on with the job now. RETAINER (8) has won three of her past four and it's hard to knock mares in form. In the mix. I'M HEROIC (4) looks close to a win following a sound third over 1600m at Eagle Farm, beaten 0.9 lengths. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Nails Murphy.
