Strong pace with Rich Minx, Spiethtacular and Dizzy Dee pushing forward, closely attended by Dont Call Me Honey and La Soeur. The penny has dropped for SPIETHTACULAR (10) who has put back-to-back wins together this campaign and is racing with a lot of confidence. Should be able to get across and take up a forward position from gate four and will be right there when the judge calls a halt. RICH MINX (1) loves this sprint journey with four wins and four placings from ten attempts and has been racing very consistently this time in work. Presents some value for the multiples. The well-related HIATUS (12) (full to G2 winner Snitzanova) is a last-start winner who brings Victorian formlines to the table. Respect any market confidence. DONT CALL ME HONEY (5) has placed two from two around this circuit and gets some weight relief with the 3kg claim. In the mix. STARSARISE (17) is a last-start winner who presents some value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spiethtacular to bring up the hat-trick.
