Hot pace certain with Purple Rose, Miss Capitale and Easiest Choice keen to take up the running. PRESIDES (1) won well here first-up, then slowly away and failed to get into the contest from an inside gate with a disappointing eighth over 1200m at Gosford. Ready for the extra trip and looks well placed with Keatings' claim in his right race. KING NIC (4) drifted back in a fast run contest and failed to stretch out on the firmer track when eighth over 1400m at Illawarra Grange. Loves the sting out of the ground and make a sharp form reversal. INVISIBLE MAGIC (10) bumped into a handy field when outclassed running seventh over 1250m at Randwick Kensington in BM72 grade. Caught the eye first-up and should find this more to her liking. KOIOS (5) talented gelding who stalked the speed for a commanding victory over 1200m here in BM68 class. Can overcome the wide gate and go close again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,4,10,5.
