Meddlesome to take up the running at a moderate tempo. The three main dangers to PAPPIANA (9) have been scratched which makes her task so much easier. Sat just off the speed but didn't do enough in the closing stages over the mile at Parkes last start. Won three back over today's journey at Tamworth. Eligible for easier races but this field has dropped right away and at the weights she comes out clearly on top. MEDDLESOME (8) was back in form here six days ago over today's trip, finishing third and just a couple of lengths from the winner. Might get a soft lead here after the withdrawals and should be peaking at the fourth run in from a spell. IMEZAAKI (1) is a recent acquisition for the Craig Clegg stable and resumes today. Not a noted first-up performer but his best form comfortably trumps anything dished up by the rest of this field. Must be respected. Ex-Ciaron Maher-trained BONFIDELITY (4) is back from a break. Lightly raced filly with more upside than most. NOTABADONE (11) is racing well and cannot be dismissed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pappiana to win the last.
