Good speed from Trespassing, Blazing Emerald and Pharoah Show. PHAROAH SHOW (10) comes back from the Roberts where he held his own, beaten just 3.6L. Chris Parnham hops in the saddle now and suspect he'll find this a touch easier. He looks a horse on the way up and he can bounce back to winning ways in this suitable assignment. STYLISH LORD (1) was far too good from the front over the mile here 17 days ago and steps back into Saturday grade now. He should be prominent from the barrier once again and Campbell's claim comes in handy. Can put his best foot forward once again. PREMIUM GIRL (3) was said to be unsuited by the 1800m journey last start, but she should be fitter now and Steve Parnham takes the rise. She's an improving commodity and with another run under her belt, she can get back to winning ways. BLAZING EMERALD (5) is hard to knock on recent form albeit at an easier level. Pike sticks with her now and she's expected to be right in the finish. WESTERN LADY (13) drops back from the Natasha Stakes and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Pharoah Show in the finale.
