Genuine tempo with Thankful Heart possibly leading the way. A good competitive race. TYPHOON TAAVI (6) runs along and quickly returned to her best winning easily here against her own sex. Will skip across from the awkward gate and strips fitter. In the top barn and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. Gollan stablemate AMATHUBA (12) is busting to win and posted a strong figure beaten a nose at Eagle Farm in a 68. Orman stays aboard and she maps for the run of the race. From the same yard FUMIKO (8) is also going well enough to rate a winning chance. The claim and low barrier advantage. GREAT ASPIRATIONS (14) also lines up for Gollan and deserves plenty of consideration. THANKFUL HEART (11) resumes and is in a sharp metro stable. He has form that would see him very competitive and owns a 3L Doomben trial win. The late betting will be interesting with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Typhoon Taavi.
