This won't take much winning and it could pay to follow the progress of MY ONLY WEAKNESS who was 3rd over course and distance recently. POCKET DIAL improved to finish 3rd stepping up to 1400m and the extra 200m could unlock further progress. Lightly raced 5yo STATE CAPITOL has run her best races over this trip (2nd over course and distance last time) and should fight for victory. FAIRFIELD, CHERRY SKY and BLIND FAITH complete the shortlist.
