Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Holster should be able to comfortably find the front. SEA WHAT I SEE (3) is a very progressive staying mare by Sea The Stars. She burst through to score impressively by a widening 2.3 lengths at Flemington last time out and looks a group class staying mare. No reason she won't just win again. INTERLINKED (14) comes back from a NZ campaign where he managed to run third to Orchestral at G2 level before struggling behind her in the G1 NZ Derby. Suited this level and looks a solid chance. FAGIN (16) was no match for Sea What I See last time out but wasn't beaten far and can figure again. DAIQUIRI (9) should be ready to show something third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sea What I See to win again.
