Expecting a strong gallop with Bellazaine and Spicy Lu taking up the running over Lady Pankhurst. NEPOTISM (2) got off the mark at start two when a dominant winner over 1400m in the G3 The TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill. Will have little trouble running the mile and gets the right set up. BUFFALO (3) improving gelding desperate for the 1600m. Returned good closing splits when an eye-catching third over 1400m in the G1 ATC Sires' Produce Stakes at this track. Solid top three prospect. STATE VISIT (1) gets to the mile for the first time after closing off strongly at his last two outings. Loomed late when a narrow second in the G1 Sires Produce Stakes. Will drift back from the draw and be saved for one crack at them. Respect. WITHIN THE LAW (7) gritty filly who jumps sharply in trip after running a solid third over 1200m in the G2 Percy Sykes Stakes at this track last Saturday. Hard to dismiss. TUPAKARA (10) gave weight to her rivals when pulling out plenty to run second over 1600m at this track in the LR Fernhill last Saturday. Maps well again and represents great each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nepotism to win.
