From wide out Satness can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. HEURISTIC (4) six weeks between runs when he closed off strongly from the inside gate to finish a narrow second over 1200m at Kembla Grange in this grade. Well weighted again with Grima's claim and will prove hard to hold out. BROADWAY FOLLIES (9) gets in light with Chambers' 2kg claim third-up and desperate for a firmer race surface. Kept fresh when she got well out of her ground for a plugging seventh over 1300m at Newcastle. Slashing run first-up and stays in the calculations. SNEAKY CHOICE (6) smart mare with a good winning CV resuming. Scored two tough wins at Kembla Grange in succession before going out for a spell last March. Primed with the two searching trials and winning rider sticks. Each-way. STARINION (11) is deep into the campaign and ticks a few boxes from the inside gate. Had genuine excuses from two sticky barriers at his last two starts and will prove hard to stop with Bronnett-Prag's 3kg claim. Value contender SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,9,6,11.
