Strong pace as Eskimo pushes forward. GREY ICE (12) won her maiden at Pakenham nearly 6 weeks ago by 4 lengths and has trekked North to Queensland to remain under the care of his trainer. She looked sharp when finishing second in a recent Deagon trial and will be ready to run a race in this. BETTERLETMEDANCE (3) has improved in each of her 2 starts this prep that have been in tougher company and she will notice the drop back in class third up here. She has not missed a cheque in a couple of starts on this track and with the advantage of pole position, she will be ready to put her best hoof forward in this. Can win. ESKIMO (11) was not far away in Stakes company 5 days ago and was a bold third at Ipswich before that. He is still learning what it is all about but if his mind is on the job, he is capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Betterletmedance each-way.
