From the wide draw Beauty Boom can cross and set up a solid tempo.
BEAUTY BOOM (4) returned to the winners' stall over this course and distance last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim and should be right there when the whips are cracking. Former NSW galloper REGGIE'S BOY (3) has been very honest this time in hitting the top-four in all six outings and should find this a touch easier than what he faced down south. Definite winning hope. DARK REBEL (8) has placed three from three over this track and trip and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Shapes as one to consider. BRING ME FLOWERS (9) resumes here but has won two of five first-up and may run a race while fresh. The well-related CRYSTAL CHIEF (2) (half to G3 winner and G1 placed Crystal Dreamer) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beauty Boom to give a sight.
