A solid tempo on the cards with Looks heading them off. GINGERQUEST (11) is better than he showed last start and should appreciate coming back to a race of this level. He'll carry no weight after the claim of Riordan and he looks to get plenty of favours on the map. Ticks a few boxes and can get the job done with a few gear changes as well. MASAMUNE (2) went back to 1000m last start and just found them a little sharp, though his form prior was much better. Back to 1200m is a big tick and he is a course and distance winner in the past. Should handle the sting out of the ground and he can put his best foot forward. EN PLEIN AIR (8) looks set for a strong return judging by her latest trial. A soggy track should help and if she gets some luck from the barrier, she can go close. JELLY CAN RUN (5) will love a wet deck and looks well placed. MY HIDDEN UNIVERSE (1) gets the 4kg claimer on today, but he's shown he's a better horse than this grade. Best form will see him hard to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gingerquest goes on top in the last.
