Plenty of pace from the outset with Bella Luce and Mr Bully Tee leading the charge. BELLA LUCE (4) has been up for some time, but is still holding her form well with her races being well-spaced. She did not cope with the quick backup when fifth as favourite last time out, and with 3 weeks in between runs leading into this, she can make amends. Follow your money. PROSERVE (1) caught the eye with a big win to score on the poly track here 9 days ago. He was runner-up on the turf before that, and in his current space, he can figure in the top 3 again. FABLUE (7) has been an impressive winner of her last couple of starts when coming with big runs from well back to score easily. Opie Bosson rides this time, and the hat-trick beckons. MR BULLY TEE (5) had no answer to the third pick here last time out over a mile, and should appreciate the extra furlong here. Stick with him for all combinations. LETSBRINGTHEBLING (9) was disappointing last time out after a nose defeat here before that. He is good enough to bounce back into the money here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bella Luce to take this with plenty of chances in behind her, including 1-5-7-9.
