Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Waimarie. WAIMARIE (8) did more than enough fresh to suggest she can take this out. She stuck on nicely over 1300m at Bendigo to be beaten a nose and should strip much fitter. She's a winner over this route and some of her form last time in reads very well for this. Takes plenty of catching. TYPHOON HARMONY (7) is knocking on the door with three consecutive minor placings. No match for the winner last time but sets up well and can figure. LE ZEBRA (1) didn't see out the 2000m last time, also outclassed in the G3 Easter Cup. Back in trip and grade suits, his best would take some beating. SPACE AGE (3) can mix his form but wasn't far away at Randwick Kensington last time. Has claims on best. AMBASSADORIAL (9) was sound fresh here and will be fitter. They may look to be more positive with that run under the belt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Waimarie to win.
