Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Rubilace, Audenzia and Swag to control the tempo. WEST HEAD (4) was close-up in all three runs last campaign and resumed in good style after two trials. Ready to win. HABERFIELD (8) is an improving filly who tackles a suitable trip second up. Handily drawn and should hold her own. SWAG (13) was runner-up to a subsequent winner last start and snags a soft alley. Can aim up. TWILIGHT ELEGANCE (12) is a lightly raced 3YO for the Maher stable who will be fitter for a recent trial. Should relish this trip first-up and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: West Head win.
