A race that lacks early pressure. HEAVENLY RAPTURE (6) was not disgraced in stakes company as a 3YO and she is on her way back to that sort of level after having 3 starts back from a spell. The key here is the step up to 2200m, and if she puts her best hoof forward, she is the one to beat. OLDEN (4) is a durable veteran who broke a long win drought with an easy win over this trip 10 days ago on this track. That was only his third start for Nadia Bishop, and in a field that is no harder, who says he cannot win again. HE'S ARCHIE (8) ran on late to finish third behind the second pick in the same race last start. He is likely to get back, so the wide draw is not a factor, and if the tempo is genuine, he can figure in the top 3 again. ICANDOIT ONMYOWN (9) has turned a corner with his form in his last couple of starts on this track, winning, and then finishing runner up to the second pick last time out. She will be competitive once more. AH KUM (10) is likely to race on the pace from a good gate and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Heavenly Rapture is the one to beat.
