Plenty of pace with Cabriole and La Astro Chat leading from Brenlyn's Legacy. Handy little sprint. Siding with the resuming CABRIOLE (11) who won two in a row to start last campaign, dominant at Geelong and Sale when heavily backed before encountering a very tricky track at Caulfield in a good effort, again when well backed. He's a well-bred, sharp gelding who can take this out fresh. ESMAHLI (5) resumes. He's off a decent spell but is a promising type who won 3/5 in his maiden campaign, including a soft victory on debut. Last seen in G3 company and will be running on strongly. LA ASTRO CHAT (6) is racing okay and sets up well on speed down in grade. SUN SETTING (12) struggles to win with her pattern but is going well and should be flashing late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cabriole to win.
