Pace strong with Miss Mikki Isle and Hi Poppy leading with Superstruck nearby. MISS MIKKI ISLE (7) is a progressive mare resuming for the Burnet stable after a promising debut prep. Hasn't been sighted at public trials but is expected to offset her wide draw early under Heywood and give backers a bold sight. TRIFECTA RUBY (13) is another who possesses a strong turn of foot on her day. Comes in fresh with a month between runs and gets the blinkers on first time to help sharpen her up. Shoulders a strong record on her home track and is among the key chances. Last start winner SUPERSTRUCK (11) also holds winning claims over a favoured trip. LIGHTNING LIZARD (6) can bounce back in this grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Mikki Isle to win.
