Bassett's Choice, Taga Smile and Vostokova will press forward and set up a solid tempo. SENSE OF DUTY (1) went down by the narrowest of margins at Murwillumbah on debut and will have taken a stack of benefit from that race-day experience. Jockey Lerena stays on board and can go one better against this line-up. CAPTIVATE LEGEND (14) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Capable of bouncing right back. BRASH MAGIC (6) just missed the frame here when facing the starter for the first time and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Top-three candidate. Former Hong Kong galloper FLYING AKEED (24) has been thereabouts in all three runs since joining the new stable and is working up to a maiden victory. In the mix. BASSETT'S CHOICE (18) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sense Of Duty to shed the maiden tag.
