Anticipate Smashing Action, Astromancer and Strawberry Swing to set a strong tempo. SMASHING ACTION (15) gains a start and has a bit of upside. She's mixed her form since a dominant maiden win but looks to have found a winnable race here. Maggie Collett can lead or take a sit just behind the speed from the good draw. Expecting her to fight out the finish. KUITPO KISS (2) is another lightly-raced mare with some upside. She's been freshened up and drops in trip for this. The good draw and the claim are in her favour. REIGNING STAR (7) is ready to win after showing nice improvement between the first and second runs of her campaign. She will be spotting her rivals a start. Include ASTROMANCER (16) and INTACTO (3) for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smashing Action each-way.
