Solid tempo with Showlas leading from True Blue Bondi and Five Down. CONCHETTA'S DREAM (11) showed she was a nice filly on the way up with an impressive maiden win last time out as the short-priced favourite. Pike rides again today from an inside draw and the rise to 1400m looks perfect. Can build on what she did last start and continue through the grades. SHOWLAS (3) has plenty of early speed and drops back to a CL3 today after a strong performance in the Grandstand Cup at Pinjarra last time out. She'll roll to the front once again under Azzopardi and coming back in grade will see her very hard to hold out. TRUE BLUE BONDI (5) is building nicely this time in work, finishing just 0.5L behind an in-form galloper at Belmont last time out. He draws a better gate this time around and with further improvement expected third-up, he'll be right in the finish. PURE OBSESSION (2) is better than we saw last time out and can return to form back in grade. SWEET SURRENDER (9) can make an impression first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Conchetta's Dream looks hard to beat.
