Positivity should lead and control the tempo.
VIBRANT SUN (6) came with a well-timed run to get up and score comfortably at Moonee Valley 5 weeks ago over a mile and is expected to relish the step up to 2000 metres for the first time. She will have time to secure a handy spot early on and can have the last say again. COCO SUN (8) has taken a different route into this than most of her rivals and her 2 wins this prep have come at benchmark level, with her last win at Bendigo being the most impressive of the 2, scoring by 3 lengths. She was fifth in the Oaks earlier in the season and the step up to 2000 metres third is ideal. Stick with her. WINGS OF SONG (2) is aiming for 7 wins on the bounce and franked her Tasmanian wins with an easy victory in the traditional lead-up to this race here a fortnight ago and she has to be hard to beat again. PULCHRITUDINOUS (1) was a last-start winner of the NZ Oaks 6 weeks ago and has since joined the Waterhouse/Bott stable. That form stacks up nicely here and she can win this as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pulchritudinous each way.
