A strong tempo is assured with Fun Sponge and King Nic leading the charge. Tough. CHANGE MY ADDRESS (8) has raced well in stronger than this and peaks off a 1L defeat here over 1200m. She settled well back from a wide gate and there was plenty of merit in the effort. Has the handy 2kg claim and expected to prove tough to stop. OPEN SECRET (3) has threatened multiple times at Group level and won't know herself back to a 64. Draws wide but the numbers stack right up and she will be hitting the line. FELIS CHAUS (9) accounted comfortably for a Maiden field at Canberra last start and just missed at Wyong prior. He deserved that and the lightly raced gelding has plenty of scope for improvement. KING NIC (7) peaks for a local yard and missed a nose here last time. Will push forward and give a sight. WINNING POINT (4) resumed here in good order and has more to give. Will get every chance from an inside gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Change My Address.
