Speed should be right on over the 1300m journey. SHELSTEIN (7) has impressed in two runs back and a win looks imminent. Closed late from the good draw when a narrow third over 1200m at Randwick in BM78 class. Key jockey change in this weaker race and expected to go close. BELLA CORAZON (10) another from the Archibald yard who can quickly return to form at her fourth run. Snagged back from the wide gate and failed to get into the contest when eighth over 1400m at Randwick in a F&M BM78. Can stalk the speed and take holding out. SEQUISTA (13) up in class off the Maiden win when found wanting late to run third over this trip at Randwick. At her top now and gets her chance with Nock's claim. COUGARS (8) scored a well deserved victory at Randwick in Highway class over the 1200m and can be competitive again from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shelstein and Bella Corazon can fight it out.
