A solid tempo on the cards with Gift Of The Heart taking charge. CRUISE TO RIO (9) was narrowly beaten last start on the 7-day back up and now steps out to this trip for just the second time. The wide draw is a little niggle, but she looks suited by the extra trip now and she still has plenty of improvement to come. Can go to another level now. STYLISH LORD (2) gets the blinkers on for the first time following a 2.1L defeat at Northam most recently. He maps to get every chance today and his last start SP shows he's right up to winning a race like this. Can return to winning form. IHTSAKING (6) was superb from the back at Northam last start when mowing them down from the back, winning by 0.9L. CJP rides now and the form out of the latest effort has stacked up nicely. Can win again. GIFT OF THE HEART (1) will find this a lot easier than recent efforts where he has been kept safe by the market. Out to this trip for the first time and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cruise To Rio can go one better today.
