Strong tempo assured from Mishani Crown and Zingalong leading the charge. LIBERTY STEPS (3) appreciated the drop in grade last start when beaten by the barest margin in a Class 4 over this course and distance. That followed a five-week break so he should come on from the run and looks ready break a win drought. MISHANI CROWN (2) has been airborne this prep. Won three in a row in the 1200-1350m range then led until the shadow of the post in a metro grade BM78 here at this trip last time. Has the gate speed to negate the wide draw and will look the winner again at some stage. AMBASSADORS (8) tackled the same Class 4 as Liberty Steps here recently and after leading was only beaten a long neck by today's rival. In great form this prep and will be there at the finish again. ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (4) was a nice winner at the Gold Coast last start and should hold his form third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Liberty Steps to win the last.
