Plenty of early pace with Way To The Stars and Red Card to vie for the lead, pressured by I Am Me and Moravia. BELLA NIPOTINA (4) tough mare with residual fitness on her side after taking out the G1 Tattersall's Tiara at Eagle Farm over 1400m on June 29. Has a slick fresh record and had plenty in the tank when third in a recent trial. Go close. GIGA KICK (1) former Everest winner returning from a lengthy lay off after an injury setback. Charged late from well back when third over 1000m at Moonee Valley in the G2 McEwen on September 9. Has the two solid trials with J Mac up. Should take holding out. Group 1 winner PRIVATE EYE (2) is back after a break of four months with a good first-up record. Unlucky not to win the G1 Lightning over 1000m at Flemington first-up last time in. Given two soft trials and must be kept safe. Group 2 winner AFT CABIN (3) resumes a gelding after having no luck in the G2 Challenge first-up last time in over this track and trip. Has the two slick trial wins under the belt and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bella Nipotina to win.
