Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Winning Shuffle and Lotsamerit will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. MANGIFERA (5) missed in a photo first-up at Geraldton before just a fair effort at Belmont most recently. The form out of that race has been red hot with 5 winners from 11 subsequent starters. Third-up now and she can sit closer than she has done her past couple. She looks the one to beat. LOTSAMERIT (4) sat handy and was too good last start at Geraldton when running away to score by 1.4L. Fitter again for that effort and only rises 1kg off that win. Maps well and can repeat the dose. CLASSIC RULER (8) can go to another level right out in trip now and creates plenty of interest. ETERNAL ROMANCE (6) can improve on the first-up effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Mangifera in the last.
