The pace looks even at best without a noted on-pacer engaged. DIVINE PURPOSE (2) is a well-performed former Victorian having her first full preparation for the Clinton Taylor yard. She's won 2/5 first-up and has been unplaced once. She's trialled sharply here and Stanley's booking suggests she's pleasing and ready to go. Stablemate VIENNAWAITSFORYOU (1) resumes and brings strong form from $75,000 Qualities. Kicking off at 1300m suits and she placed in a recent trial behind Hellish. Has the inside gate and the 2kg claim brings her into it. SUNDARA (6) belted the 55 graders by 4L spiking her figures. Butler is reunited and she has some weight relief in stronger. MONEY MAN (7) improved beaten 1.4L here in a 60. He will carry just 53kg with the claim and is also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Divine Purpose.
