Plenty of pace with Rising Fame and South Hoba leading from Cosmic Gem. COSMO RULER (4) got the job done as a $1.30 favourite two back before jumping favourite again last start when missing by 2.1L. She's been freshened since that effort and Pike hops back on board today. Drawn better this time and she looks the one to beat. SOUTH HOBA (6) gets the blinkers on for the first time today on resumption, with a recent trial win under her belt. She disappointed as favourite before the break but looks ready to bounce back this time in work. Can return on a positive note. ABISSI (2) was solid first-up off a long break, closing steadily to be 3.6L off the winner. Should be better for that effort and Tsang sticks with him. On the quick turnaround here and can play a leading role. COSMIC GEM (3) should be better over this trip today with the stable strike hoop McGruddy being booked. Can improve third-up. RISING FAME (9) draws the inside today and a forward showing is on the cards. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmo Ruler ticks plenty of boxes.
