Looks to be plenty of pace with Speedy One and Bonfire Spark battling for the lead. BONFIRE SPARK (6) saves her best for this sprint journey with three wins and four seconds from 13 attempts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Hard to knock mares in form and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. ARISPHERE (2) has a handy record at this track and trip with two wins and a placing from six spins and gets plenty of weight off with the 3kg claim. Knocking on the door of late and shouldn't be discounted lightly. FRAGILE LOVE (7) resumes here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this nature. Can run a race while fresh. MEAN APPROACH (1) has only missed a drum once from four fresh efforts and can make his presence felt first-up. SHE OURS (12) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,2,7,1.
