Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Sunset Park. SUNSET PARK (7) lightly-raced UK-bred mare with a ton of ability. Bounced off her good debut first-up second, with a tenacious on-pace victory over 1600m at Kembla Grange in good time. Finds a fairly average field today and can keep raising the bar in her first prep. VIESTE (5) returned to form at her last two outings and indicated a win was imminent. Stalked the tempo and kept coming on the line when a gritty third to Oh Diamond Lil over 1600m at Randwick. Has won twice over the 1850m and no excuses today from the draw. Leading contender. GULF OF TOMINI (8) has been frustrating this campaign and go on his second three back when assessing his chances at Port Macquarie. Has a good association with Mollie Fitzgerald and drops nicely in the weights. Each way. MADAM RUPEE (10) stretches out to this trip for the first time after chipping away late when fourth over 1600m at Nowra. Latham sticks and she gets the gun run with the visors going on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sunset Park to win again.
