Plenty of pace from Miss Trustful, Sexy Warrior and Battle Of The Ice primarily. SHORT REPLY (9) finished second two runs back at Kyneton then improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect over 1512m at Geelong. John Allen scored on her last time and retains the mount. Has her share of ability and is certain to be hard to beat in this suitable race. ELVIS (5) was plain last start but ran a great race in 62 grade the start prior and only needs to repeat that to give this a shake. SEXY WARRIOR (7) broke the maiden in dominant style on-pace here last start and it's no shock connections have elected to return to this track. Similar story with TAXING (11), who lost all form before the recent freshen and was a stylish winner at a big price last time out. BENEFITSOFMINE (3) finished second last time over 1483m at Kyneton, beaten 0.8 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. SUGGESTED PLAY: Short Reply to win.
