Expecting Coco Jewel to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. CHEERFUL CAT (7) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1600m at Sunshine Coast Poly after being in the firing line all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. ARTIFACTX (2) had been going okay but was safely held last start when sixth over 1600m at Gatton. Deserves another chance. ALBANIAN BEAUTY (1) switches to synthetic for the first time. Won over 1350m at Warwick two starts ago but followed that with an unplaced effort, beaten 2 lengths, over 1500m on turf there. Likely to progress from that last run and is in the mix. GOLD DAZZLER (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Thangool, finishing second and only half a length from the winner at the end of 1400m. Can play a big role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cheerful Cat to get a well-deserved victory.
