Genuine tempo from Babalola leading Dakota Elegance. THINK ROCK (7) has had a few chances but strikes a pretty thin race here and can break through. He's placed in both runs back from a spell, beaten just under two lengths here last time out. Maps for a good run just off the speed here and gets his chance. BABALOLA (3) resumed with a good run at Benalla, beaten a head over 1112m. Fitter for that and maps well from the soft gate. Sure to take catching. FARISHA (9) is a mare by Nicconi on debut for the Hayes yard. She's won a few jump outs and should be kept very safe. DAKOTA ELEGANCE (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Think Rock.
