From the outside draw Gunner Bill spears to the lead and sets a slick tempo. TOKYO ICE (3) has a fitness edge over most of these and looks ready to win again. Stalked the speed when a close-up third over 1000m at Canberra on April 12. Cross-over nose band goes on and should prove too good for these. MISSILE MAIDEN (12) lightly raced mare with ability. Up in trip when a plugging fifth over 1460m at Queanbeyan on April 22. Better suited back to this distance and drawn to stalk the solid tempo. POPPY'S GIRL (6) trained on the track and due for a change of luck. Made up ground late when resumed with a solid fourth over 1200m at this track on April 25. Fitter now and expected to play a leading role. NASTY STREAK (4) trained locally and got off the mark at start seven when a fast finishing winner over 1100m here on April 25. Confidence is high now and can run into the money again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tokyo Ice to win.
