Outta Line, Purple Rose and Peschiera can set the pace. PURPLE ROSE (9) speedy mare racing in career best form. No reason she can't make it three-straight victories after running them ragged when saluting at Wyong in good style over 1350m. Well drawn and will prove hard to hold out. PESCHIERA (3) lightly raced mare unlucky not to have a few more wins on the CV. Battled on gamely from the outside barrier when seventh over 1250m at Canterbury. Has a solid second-up record and gets a better run today. FAST TRACK (8) strengthened over the break and looks to be heading in the right direction. Showed plenty of grit when sitting on the pace to secure second over 1350m at Wyong. Probably looking for further now and should get the right tempo. Each-way. CAN'T TOUCH THIS (1) won two of her last three starts and is well in with the 2kg claim. Likely to go back from the draw and be saved for one crack at them late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Purple Rose looks hard to stop with the map favours.
