In a small field either Divine Bene or Prince Kuro will find the front. HONEY PERFUME (2) brings the best form to this contest and is desperate for the 1200m now. Comes out of a strong rating race when taking good late ground off the smart Shropshire Lad with an unlucky second over 1100m at Scone. Expected to go on with the job now. DIVINE BENE (1) consistent gelding who always gives his all. Comes here in peak form and back to his home track after going out hard when a fighting second over 1200m at Quirindi in fast time. Will slide across from the wide gate and prove hard to get past. TONKATSU GODDESS (5) resumes after putting it all together late in the preparation last campaign. Can go on with the job this time in and has the two trials in readiness for her return. Each-way. ALL TOO SNEAKY (6) returned in good order before disappointing from the sticky gate when a fading eleventh at Gunnedah over 1250m. Has a handy record here and expecting a sharp improvement with Nock's claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Honey Perfume to go one better.
