Showlas and Teabiscuit can be prominent. Big field and plenty of pressure up front. For that reason POND MASTER (1) can swoop over the top late. On the seven-day back-up and back in trip so expected to be beaten for pace early but has a big finish and Pike aboard. Watch out late. SHOWLAS (6) on the other hand will be up front leading the way. Racing well and can give a big sight. SALTY MISS (8) has some really good figures for this from last campaign and returns after a long break. Will relish the early pressure and fly late. CHERYL'S SHOUT (7) finished 4 lengths back in 12th over 1400m at Belmont Park last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Meets easier opposition this time. In the mix. PLAYING QUEST (9) draws well and another big run is in store. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pond Master on the quick back-up.
