Easily one of the more open races of the afternoon with a host of leading chances. Speed anticipated from Bounce Down, Patapus and Yeah Dardy. BOUNCE DOWN chases the hat-trick in this affair following another impressive display last start. Only lightly raced she is clearly a filly heading in the right direction and can easily take that next step. Drawn well and shapes as one of the hardest to beat. Could be some solid speed here with Stellar Ignition, Yeah Dardy and Patapus among those going forward while Mossitara and Parading could also push on from wide gates. BOUNCE DOWN has drawn to get a perfect sit just behind the pace and comes off two impressive wins. No reason she can't go on with it. PATAPUS is racing very consistently and battled on well in a strong race last time. Definite chance. NEXT GENERATION wasn't disgraced when resuming and is a likely improver here. Each-way claims. Babble is in the mix again on his honest form while Spangled Impact and More Aces are both better than their latest efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to play both Bounce Down and Patapus.
