HELLABELLA and MRS MAREE to set the speed (tempo: FAIR). A decent sized field and a few with solid enough form to get into the finish. Interesting that James McDonald has chosen MISS LOLA (nice trials, but disappointing on debut) out of the Waller runners. BELLA WAHINE and MARSEPT (sprinted OK first-up) map well near pace to midfield and the form-lines are fine. MAQUISA honest on the inside, HELLABELLA capable if she gets a nice run on-pace and SURF'S UP a big chance if the tempo/pattern suit swooping.
