Moscow Circus should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. MOSCOW CIRCUS (6) raced keenly on resumption from the sticky draw before fading in the straight with a disappointing eleventh over 1200m at Eagle Farm. Proven second-up and can turn her form around in this easier race. Anywhere near her best should win this. TICKLE ME PINK (12) promising mare with the upside to go on with it this prep. Created a big impression last time in and the two trials suggest she has come back even stronger. Will prove hard to get past. MISS REBEL (5) win record hardly excites and deserves another chance up to the 1200m. Far from disgraced when seventh over 1100m at Wyong in Highway class. Can sneak into the minor money. GRASSBURN (11) jumped in grade and failed to get a clear crack at them in the straight when eleventh over 1100m at Wyong in Highway class. Gets map favours and must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moscow Circus finds her race.
