Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: +1m 1200m - 800m , +4m 800m - 350m , True Remainder .  

Expecting Lady Capitalist to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. LADY CAPITALIST (11) stepped out in trip at her second run back with a dominant on pace victory over 1400m at Hawkesbury to get the Maiden win out of the way. Produced good figures on that occasion and looks up to this stronger contest. SUPERATA (4) slashing run first up with the 59kg to run fourth over 1300m at Hawkesbury in a fast run contest. Lone win came over this trip at Hawkesbury and has the ability to overcome the awkward gate. BRAZIL (1) dropped in class from the wide gate and failed to make an impression when eighth over 1600m at Kembla Grange. Kept fresh and will appreciate the 2kg claimer. Has the talent to figure prominently. STORMBRINGER (3) has his hoof on the till after finishing in the minor money at Goulburn at his last two outings. Sets-up well and stays in the calculations. CIAO BELLA MIA (8) comes back a level today and don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Capitalist and Superata shape as the two leading contenders.
