Off the low draw Overpass is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. JOLIESTAR (7) proven sprinter who beat a handy field second up when a dominant winner of the G1 Newmarket Handicap over 1200m at Flemington. Kept fresh and had plenty up the sleeve when second in an 850m tick over trial. Tempo suits and this is her pet trip. MAGIC TIME (8) tough mare with excellent figures over this course and distance. Keeps getting better with age and she gets the right set up here. Great each way prospect. JIMMYSSTAR (2) dynamic gelding who was slow into stride before returning good closing splits when an unlucky third in the G1 William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley over 1200m. No excuses here from the wide draw and will be attacking the line late. SUNSHINE IN PARIS (6) unlucky not to have finished closer on resumption when held up badly in the straight to run fourth in the G1 Canterbury Stakes over 1300m at Randwick. Capable of finishing over the top of these. SWITZERLAND (11) disappointed in two runs back and gets the blinkers added today. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,8,2,6.
