Solid pace with Lady Bankside finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. LEMON CURD (4) was tried in front at Riverton nearly 2 weeks ago, and she fought on bravely to finish runner-up. She may try similar tactics here, and she could again take some pegging back. MONAGHAN BOY (1) stepped up in class on a 2-day backup and finished a fair sixth as the favourite at Riverton over 1400m. He slides back down in grade here, and with a strong record on the track, he can make amends, so follow your money. VINO VALENTINO (2) finished a brave third last start, and her form has been heading in the right direction. The wetter the better for this mare, and she has top 4 claims again. GO LOTTE (3) turned her form right around with a big last-to-first win at Riverton. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lemon Curd can win this.
