Expecting Mr Assertive to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. BLUE AKOYA (13) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1000m at Sale. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Back up to BM66 grade here, but he looks to have a little more upside than many of the rivals here. THAILESS (10) is a hardened mare who likes to race on speed and has performed well at Stakes company in the past. She looks beyond that now, but is well-graded here and just needs luck early from the alley. AKICITA (3) has teased over the journey but couldn't have done any more first-up, which should have given him some confidence. He'll be better for that, which might help offset the rise in grade, will just need luck from the gate. KA YING CHEER (4) is back in Australia after a stint in HK and couldn't have done any more first-up. Steps up in grade here, but can go on with it. GREATHAM BOY (2) got no favours at the draw, but was nice first-up and contested some nice races last prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blue Akoya each-way.
