Royal Inference has good gate speed and likely to set a genuine tempo with the advantage of the inside draw. WORLD ACTION (4) raced wide without cover last start and can drastically improve to the form that he displayed before that, running third at Warrnambool. He is a deserving top pick in this race. WHAT A FLIRT (8) doesn't win out of turn, but she is fourth up in this race and can run his peak figure here. She can make her presence felt. ROYAL INFERENCE (2) is fifth up after starting favourite at his last start, where he disappointed market expectations, only managing sixth. He was made to work to find the front last start, whereas he might get a soft lead from an inside draw here. SILENT THUNDER (3) can bounce back from a poor run last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing World Action.
