Hey Daisy and Icon Of Style possess good early speed. HEY DAISY (7) created a big impression from the wide draw on debut as favourite, when leading throughout over 1100m at the Gold Coast. Has plenty of upside and can go on with it now. BEITSOO (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when second over 1000m at the Gold Coast. A repeat of latest will see her go close again. DEEP SECRET (12) is a five-year-old mare having her first run for the James Healy yard. Hasn't raced since finishing tenth at Kyneton six-and-a-half months ago. Primed for this with two good trials and maps well from the low draw. Has genuine top three claims. VOCATION (15) ploughed through the heavy going two runs back, before failing to repeat the dose when a dismal eighth over 1000m at Port Macquarie. Slim clams from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hey Daisy to win again.
