Competitive contest. BENFICA LASS (13) has been thereabouts in all five starts this campaign and is more than capable enough on her day. Will be rock hard fit for this and a strong showing would not surprise. PIERONIMO (15) is an honest commodity who has hit the top-five at his past nine starts and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Solid top-three prospects. SMART AS SMART (1) has a handy record over this track and trip with two wins and a second from six attempts. Makes some appeal despite the wide draw. PELE PRINCESS (14) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and looks one for the exotics. AUNTY RENE (6) best of the rest with the 2kg claim.
