The race pace looks quite okay from the jump in this Maiden event over 1400m. MONSOON KNIGHT (3) was punted fresh up but had a hard run so a total forgive. Go again. BOURBON EMPRESS (9) can go one or two better. Better drawn. Bred to win multiple times. PURE FICTION (6) five times placed including once here. Include after a 3kg claim no matter the footing. SWEETPEA (10) best run came on debut in Good footing. Trifecta and first four chance. CASH TREASURE (11) is an improver. Ace draw. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Monsoon Knight is a win wager.
