Shambretta and Reducio have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. If MISS SPACEGIRL (16) gets a run she’s ideally placed. Slightly back in trip via strong recent races is real deal material and the main dangers that were lining up behind her all come away in the scratchings. Its left on a platter for her and dount she makes a meal of it. REDUCIO (6) stands her ground and is left as the real challenge to the selection. She looks to have her limitations but she has been consistent to date and can put herself in the right spot. LADY SAVANNAH (8) resumes with some hope. May need the run but she did win her maiden on soft ground around here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Spacegirl win.
