Prince Of Sooview is expected to lead at a strong tempo. RED BEAUTY (6) has hit a purple patch this campaign with two wins and three placings from just five starts. Hard to knock mares in form and she can certainly keep the ball rolling against this lot. Former Victorian PRESOCRATICS (5) was a dominant winner here in the first run for the new stable and winning hoop Taylor retains the ride. Can go back-to-back without surprising. DARLING CLEMENTINE (8) is a very consistent commodity who doesn't know how to run a bad race. Strong top-three contender on recent form. OUR TURN NOW (2) strips fitter third-up from the break and can feature with any luck from the sticky draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,5,8,2.
