Pace looks genuine from Little Silver, Forever Classic and Gorgeous Gus, closely attended by Quindandino. DANCE BOSS (3) got back off a slow tempo last start and rattled home in the small field to just miss as favourite. He'll be better for that effort and he returned with a new peak rating which bodes well for the rest of his campaign. Looks a quality galloper who should be getting the job done today. FOREVER CLASSIC (4) bolted in two back before finishing in behind Dance Boss last time out, beaten 1L on the line. She ticks plenty of boxes again today from a good alley and Brad Parnham sticking. Expecting her to go close once again. BIG CITIES (8) is better than he showed last start when getting a long way back down the Pinjarra straight and never featuring. On the quick turnaround today and up in trip which suits. Likely to play a major role. DEETEA (2) disappointed when fresh but boasts a strong second-up record, winning 2/3. Expecting sharp improvement. LITTLE SILVER (1) can be around the mark while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Dance Boss.
