HOT STRIKE is back at her best track and looks well placed in this line-up even though the distance could be short. She will need a strong pace. PINK DIAMOND won her maiden better than the margin suggested and the subsequent form is proving strong. She will need to overcome the widest gate but is the one to watch on handicap debut. VERMACILLI has drawn best and after making decent progress in her last start could be in the firing line. ASPOESTERTJIE has been running on well over shorter and if stays could be the dark horse. GELSOMINA can pop up this track and trip.
