Without an obvious leader, it may be left to More Mischief, Rosa Incanta and Rush Attack to control the tempo. ROSA INCANTA (5) resumes. Came to the end of her prep with a battling eighth at Newcastle in the G3 Spring Stk over 1600m last November. Primed for this with the two searching trials and will take running down from the inside draw. AZURE ANGEL (13) nice filly ready for this trip third-up with the blinkers being added. Produced good closing splits from back in the field with a sound fifth over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Can race a touch closer now and looks great each way value. GLASTONBURY GIRL (12) won two of her three starts in the first prep and finds a weaker contest second-up. Closed off strongly on resumption with a narrow third to Chilli Margs over 1400m at Hawkesbury. Best form puts her right in this despite drawing out. MAGICAL MOMENTS (7) comes here deep into the campaign and saves her best for this track and trip. Slow into stride and held up along the inside with a fast finishing second over 1400m at the Sapphire Coast. Has another win in her this time in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rosa Incanta has the class to put these away first-up.
