Small field in which Faithful Champion can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo.
FAITHFUL CHAMPION (2) has been racing consistently in lesser company recently and drops 3kg from his last start here when finishing close up in third place. He meets an even field and could be the one to side with. DARCI DIVA (3) has yet to show her true ability on this track and ran her best race this prep in a similar field to this at the end of March. She is down in class from her latest run, and can figure in the finish. READ (4) has raced his way back into some good form since making the move from South Australia earlier in the year. He flew home late when runner-up by a nose last time out, and is set to go one better this time. PRINCESS PANCAKES (1) has needed all 3 runs back from a spell and was a solid enough fourth over a mile here last start. She is ready now to put her best hoof forward. CAPISTAN (6) will be peaking third up and is worth including in all multiples to be safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Read each way.
