Plenty of pace likely from Eagles Forever, Buoyant and Honour The Skills battling for the lead from Aeroette. FAST 'N' FORWARD (5) is a local mare with a very good record on her home track. She has had 2 runs back from a spell in tougher fields and will notice the drop back in grade here. She is up to a suitable trip and would only need a wet track to be very hard to beat. HONOUR THE SKILLS (6) won over this trip on this circuit 3 starts back and did not cope with the poly track at Ballarat last time out. He also won his maiden here and with the benefit of a 3-kilo claim, he can bounce back into the money. BUOYANT (3) is getting ready for a hurdling career but he comes to hand quickly and will be ready to rumble fresh up. The markets will be an important guide. DR DEE DEE (1) better run last start when third over 2000m at Bordertown. Impressed last start. Right in the mix again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fast 'N' Forward each-way.
