|---|---|---|---|---|

Just a moderate tempo headed by Sea Warning and He Is The Kiss. SEA WARNING (4) comes back in trip and finds an easier contest with the sharp weight drop. Slow into stride and never looked a genuine contender with a dismal eighth over 1700m at Ipswich. Kept fresh and can turn things around. MONTE CARLO MISS (5) third-up she scored a dominant win at Casino, then taken back from the wide gate and launched late from last on the turn with a tough fourth over 1400m at the Gold Coast. Well drawn and will take holding out with Baker's 2kg claim. PRESTIGE ICE (2) is mixing her distances and kept fresh for this. Not that far away in a tight finish with a game sixth over 1800m at the Gold Coast. Lone win came at this track and has top-three prospects. RUPESTRIS (3) finds a much easier race from the better gate after tiring in the straight to finish tenth over 1420m here. Can race much closer and give a ton of cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,5,2,3.
