Solid tempo with Shaime to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. BEWS (2) has found it tough to win but finds a nice race here, coming off a letup since a strong second placing at Morphettville in a BM80 last start. In an open race, he should prove tough to beat again. HEURISTIC (5) was better last start at Sandown Lakeside when running on well for second behind The Open. That form should hold up well and if Kah can navigate the inside barrier he should take beating. KIKO (8) is racing very well, interestingly having changed stables since a last-start win at Sandown Lakeside. She hasn't missed the quinella this campaign and must be considered. DAZZLING LUCY (9) is in with an each-way hope, as is FISSION (4). SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Bews.
