Genuine pace with Are Ee Que taking up the running ahead of Burj and Party Doll. EFHARISTO (3) produced a solid set of figures first up when shedding her maiden status with a comprehensive victory in fast time over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Should take further improvement heading into this and can progress quickly now. Goes close. ETUDE (7) returns from a layoff for the Kris Lees yard after doing the bulk of her racing in Queensland. Back without a trial and proven at this trip with the claim. Look for her late. BURJ (4) lightly raced filly who was no match for the classy Diddle Dumpling first up when a tiring fourth over 1200m at this track. Form has since been franked with Diddle Dumpling scoring a dominant win at Rosehill on Saturday. Sharp improver. ARE EE QUE (1) building a sound winning CV and comes here in career-best form. Map is not as kind for this but racing too well to dismiss. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Efharisto to keep the winning momentum going.
