Geostorm and Cosmic Ride possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. LUNA ANGEL (5) is flying, coming off back-to-back strong chasing wins. Backs up quickly and will appreciate the genuine tempo. Expect her to be bursting through again. COSMIC RIDE (4) has been rock-solid for the Pepper stable, maps well from a favourable draw, and is sure to be prominent. SOUTHERN DANCER (3) resumes and while she will improve as the prep unfolds, this is a suitable starting point. Expected to settle off the pace and finish strongly. SAINT LOFT (6) returned in winning fashion last start and, although drawn wide, comes into this fitter and deserves respect. SUNDROP (2) steps up in grade but is racing well and should not be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luna Angel to win.
