Strong early tempo with Von Bee leading the way over Hulkamania. IRENE'S BEST (9) turned in a flat performance last start when 5th in 1900m Bm62 here as favourite but her form before that was strong. Won well over this course and distance in Bm58 grade two starts ago and with three weeks between runs she can bounce back strongly here. BLUE AS BLUE (13) was strong late first-up to score a narrow but impressive Maiden win here over 1540m. Rise in distance should pose no problem and she looks capable of stepping up here. IMEZAAKI (6) has been unplaced in recent runs in NSW but was third in Group 3 Grand Prix this season and can give this a shake on best form. Last-start winner AIDEN (2) also holds strong appeal and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Irene's Best.
