Moderate tempo headed by Lovely Lookin' from her low draw. LOVELY LOOKIN' (10) followed up her dominant first-up win with a strong chasing effort into fourth last start in the G3 Proud Miss Stakes. Back in class and drawn to go forward, she’ll give a bold sight and keep kicking. METRICAL (13) resumed in top order here three weeks ago when rattling home to score by a head. Has an good second-up record and gets in low at the weights with the claim. Deserves respect. DELIGHTFUL SHECKY (8) disappointed when resuming but has since been freshened with 56 days. Is right up to this on best and is a track and trip specialist. Don't underestimate. TAP 'N' RUN (6) comes across from Albury off a stylish win over the 1000m. Open to further improvement fourth-up and is worth some thought at longer odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lovely Lookin' to win.
