Just a moderate pace anticipated. SENSESSIONAL (12) sat close to the speed but couldn't match the turn-of-foot off a moderate tempo last start, beaten 1.22L by Bonjoy. Pike hops in the saddle now which is a big tick and he maps to be prominent from the outset. Key scratching with Bonjoy out and she is now the one to beat. OWN THE QUEEN (4) took no part last start when bucking at the start. She's trialled well since and getting up in trip looks ideal. Can sit closer than recent efforts and return to her best form. DEMOLISH (10) has performed well fresh in the past and trialled well recently. Back in trip off the Perth Cup but it wouldn't surprise to see him feature. ANTIQUE MISS (7) gets Parnham in the saddle now and she's expected to feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sensessional.
