Jotopeli should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. HIDEOUT (8) looked handy saluting at Beaudesert on debut and will have derived some benefit from that day at the races. Can go back-to-back to start the career. PRESTIGE ICE (9) is drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside alley and shouldn't be discounted lightly. WEXFORD MISS (11) is yet to hit her straps this prep but does boast strong peaks. Gets in well with the claim and is worth keeping onside in the placings. JEMOMA ALPILAGE (2) returns and has trialled well in readiness. Has the ratings to give this a big shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,9,11,2.
