Emphatic Bel should lead at a keen tempo. MINNEWATER (6) resumes after 14 months but showed talent when last in work. May need the run but looked forward enough in lead-up trial. Market push would be significant and she rates highly fresh. MIDNIGHT DREAM (2) veteran sprinter who finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1100m at this track last time out. Loves this track and trip and gets Bullock aboard. Looks a top challenger. ROUGE MOULIN (7) is resuming from a spell and is a winner previously at this track and distance. Can play a role fresh. GRINS (5) usually reliable type who ran well below her best last start when sixth over 1200m at Mudgee. Can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Minnewater.
