Solid tempo expected primarily from Town Cryer and Electron. MEHZEBEEN (2) she has shown good form since returning from Australia. G1 placed. Drawn to win this without any doubt. TOWN CRYER (1) has been dual G1 placed. She is a threat on dry or wet footing importantly. Has been course placed. ISLINGTON LASS (3) is a course winner. Second up she has had four runs for two wins and two placings. Trial winner earlier this month. Legitimate chance here. VAL DI ZOLDO (8) comes here following a win over 2050m at Wanganui three weeks ago, getting home by a neck. She is a G2 and G3 winner. Suited here on dry or wet footing. NIGELLA LANE (9) is an in form runner. Trifecta and first four chance in this line up. Drawn wide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mehzebeen and Islington Lass are win wagers.
