Keen speed battle, with Rumours Abound, Condor and One Hard Lady prominent. ONE HARD LADY (8) returns as one of the key pace influences and is a consistent mare who is still improving. Has been sharpened with a strong trial and is well placed to fire fresh. RUMOURS ABOUND (6) is a very quick mare on her day. Smashed them second-up at Wangaratta then had excuses in town. With a month between runs and a drop in trip she will look to run them along in front. IRON WILL (5) tired late at Gosford after leading but with plenty of speed engaged they may ride him a shade quieter third-up. TICKLEBELLY (2) resumes after producing some strong efforts last campaign, keeps Boudvillain and is right in the conversation if she returns in similar order. SUGGESTED PLAY: One Hard Lady to win.
