Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 20)    

Arverni Princess to set a strong early tempo booting up inside Maggie Smith and Hereinafter. MAGGIE SMITH (2) is better than her last start run over 1200m would suggest. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. She resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously is well worth considering. HEREINAFTER (3) is a winner of her last two starts. She meets a similar field and can notch up the hat-trick. RUGGER LOVER (4) won a game race by a neck in her last start over 1200m on the polytrack when well supported. She is in a good space and merits healthy respect. EMERALD GREEN (10) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start to finish third of 12 over 1200m at Greyville. Looks well placed so anticipating another big run.
