From the inside gate Honor Galore will dash through and lead from Ten Deep and Friday At Five. Leaning to TEN DEEP (15) who should be at peak fitness now third up. Both runs back from a spell have been good, left chasing a tearaway leader second up at Sandown Hillside and no match for the race-fit winner. Drawn wide here but can roll forward with just 52kg on her back and she'll take catching from there. ILLYIVY (9) was a long way off the leader who kicked for home last start but relished the chase and finished too well. Takes on the older horses now but is going very well and should go close. STYLISH (1) won dominantly two back before being well backed in a slowly run Leilani Series Final here last time. Well placed this level. TERRESTAR (4) was poor in that Final but had been going well prior including a second to Splash Back who is favourite in the Group 3 earlier. Tough draw but can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ten Deep to win.
