Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Gangitano. RIPROAR (5) looked a handy type in the Spring and resumed with a stylish win at Geelong on heavy ground, sitting on speed and coming away to win by 1.75 lengths. Fitter for that and the rise in trip will only suit better. Good chance. GRID GIRL (8) is on the up, winning 2/3 this time in, the latest at $1.70. Profiles as a likely improver that can measure up to these. GATES (1) was a solid pass mark first-up in a good race at Pakenham before being eased up in a G2 last time with excuses. Back to a mile here is perhaps a query but he's good enough. DOLPHIN SKIN (2) was a big winner first up but has struggled in two runs since. Suited this level and will be running on. STYLISH (9) won her maiden last time out and it wouldn't shock to see her measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Riproar on top.
