A solid tempo is assured with the potential of one or more first starters applying pressure to the noted speedster Casa Helena. BAD GIRL BUBBLES (7) has been okay in two runs back from a spell and should be ready to fire now. Stays at 1000m which may be a knock but otherwise has found a very winnable race. ABSCONDED WITNESS (3) was beaten a length on debut at Warrnambool. Can improve into the finish here. CASA HELENA (8) showed speed on debut at Werribee but dropped out with excuses offered. She was right in the market that day and is expected to improve here. KEEFY'S BRO (5) is a gelding by Akeed Mofeed on debut for the Maddie Raymond yard who has jumped out well. Respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bad Girl Bubbles to win.
