Off the low draw Deciduous is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. FAM GORMAN (2) looks close to recording another win following a last start nose second over 2100m at Stony Creek after having won her previous start at Stoney Creek when well supported. Jumps from a good gate and should be taking this race out. AUSPIRIT (10) disappointed last time out when finishing seventh of 12 over 2400m at Swan Hill but dropping back in distance looks well placed here and should be given another chance. SWINDON LASS (1) drifted well back in the running last start and never looked likely. Won her two previous starts and looks better placed here and is worth a second look. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fam Gorman to win.
