Slick pace with Wootton Verni finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. The lightly raced KNOW THYSELF (10) is repaying the patience of connections with a stellar Autumn campaign, highlighted by his win in the $1 million Country Championship Final at Randwick on 5 April. Kept finding under a big weight to win over the Randwick mile subsequently. Looks so hard to beat down to 53kgs today. DEPTH OF CHARACTER (2) has thrived since heading to Brisbane, capped by an effortless win in the Group Two Queensland Gns over this distance last Saturday. Only needs to hold that form to be right in this as well. LADY IN PINK (1) tried hard but just failed to hold out the smart Zloties over this distance in the Queen Of The South at Morphettville recently. Group Two winner with the class to test this field. Last start Group Three Epona winner MARE OF MT BULLER (8) has been freshened up and can threaten despite coming back in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Know Thyself to win again.
