Expecting Knowledge Is Power to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. SORCHA (7) is a multiple-class dropper second up here. She ran super fresh up and all of her wins have come on this track. Has a good record in this state and is a big chance here after a 4kg claim. CARAVELLA (1) is a multiple class dropper here. Has been course proven. Close up at last start and is a quinella and trifecta chance here. MISS NICO BELLE (3) is out of form so far this time in but is twice a course winner here. She is a multiple class dropper and a chance here to reverse her form. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER (6) has won when third up before. Course placed. Drawn wide again but can cope. TOSSUFORIT (8) she has been not too bad for a while now. Cannot be omitted in this line-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sorcha is the one to beat. Caravella is the biggest danger. Box the quinella of that pair plus Miss Nico Belle as a saver.
