Valilee has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. RUNRANIRUN (5) ran up to the two sharp trials when a dominant first-up winner in fast time over 1000m at Canberra. Clearly come back well and shapes as one of the leading chances again. VALILEE (1) undefeated Adelaide gelding resuming. Looked good in his two wins on the provincial tracks and had plenty up the sleeve when a solid trial winner over 800m at Gosford. Can sit off them and pounce late. RUSSIAN ZARINA (9) resumes on her home track and gets in light with the claim. Can sprint well fresh after running eighth over 1000m at Canberra. Back without a trial and comes to hand quickly. REAL DELUXE (7) is proven at the trip and goes into the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,9.
