Platinum Shot to take up the running at a moderate tempo. LONDON'S IMAGE (1) bounced back to winning ways last start when back to 1200m, with the form already working out well. Drawn to get every chance again out to 1400m where she is a winner here. Can repeat the dose in what looks a similar race. BE BARDOT (8) is the fresh blood in this and looks ready for a big race fresh. Pike sticks from the trials coming in and she bolted in when fresh last campaign. Drawn a gate here and it wouldn't surprise to see her return with a bang. BONJOY (2) missed in the Old Comrade but was in hot form prior to that. CJP remains in the saddle as she comes here off a freshen and her win at Bunbury over this trip three back was fantastic. Can get back to winning ways. TOROPA (4) is 1/1 over this course and distance and pulled up with an issue last start. Can sit handy and be in this for a long way. FAST FLICKER (3) can't be left out on her recent form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with London's Image in the Sheila Gwynne Classic.
