Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine

Palisipan took out the 2022 edition and the enigma, Brooklyn Hustle took out 2021. This year the current favourite is Coeur Volante. Comes up with a tricky draw but brings in the right form and is unbeaten 2nd up. Chinny Boom bounced back to form last start with a dominant win by over 3 lengths and goes in the mix. C’est Magique has had a stable change and looks well placed here while Roots is proven at this level and should give a bold sight with Tim Clark in the saddle.

1. Roots (5)

Sets up nicely from this draw and should prove hard to beat in what looks to be a nice run in transit. Proven at this level and Tim Clark steers. Goes in.

2. Revolutionary Miss (3)

Expecting improvement from the good draw and with conditions to suit. Was flying a few starts back and can find that form again.

3. Comrade Rosa (16)

Should be ready for this trip but barrier 16 may force her to go back. Capable of winning but will need a good ride from there.

4. Coco Jamboo (12)

Returned with a nice win and looks set to go on with things but will need luck from the barrier.

5. Banana Queen (2)

Unlucky last start behind Fall For Cindy which looks okay form for this. Barrier 2 looks a good spot to be and this race suits.

6. Coeur Volante (13)

Deserving favourite who has a strong second up record. Suited with Shinn doing the steering but will need a good ride from the draw. Hard to beat.

7. Vienna Princess (14)

Can’t have.

8. Ghaanati (10)

Prefer others.

9. Chinny Boom (6)

Maps for a good run and strong last start winner. Had excuses prior and can go on with things here.

10. Aureus Angel (1)

Can’t have.

11. Ausbred Flirt (8)

Prefer others.

12. C’est Magique (11)

Off a stable change and has J-Mac to steer. Has the ability and can take this out.

13. Short Shorts (15)

Can’t have.

14. Abounding (4)

Hasn’t been racing with a lot of luck and maps for a good time from barrier 4. Solid chance at odds.

15. Enterprise Pomme (9)

Can’t have.

16. Willinga Beast (7)

This looks too tough.
