Plenty of pace from the outset with Maili leading the charge. RESTONICA (4) went to the paddock an in-form horse and recent trials suggest there’s more to come this time in. Gets a crucial draw in a big field and is expected to measure up fresh. OAKFIELD MAHOGANY (1) was plain in a sharper class of race last start but showed good intent first up in similar to this. Finds her right trip third up and capable of much better this time. MAILI (5) probably races handy from a low draw and was competitive in listed grade prior to spelling. May need one more but should attack the line. ROCK HARD LOVE (2) strips fitter second-up and is another of the chances SUGGESTED PLAY: Restonica win.
