Solid tempo anticipated with Dolzino taking charge. BALMIERRO (7) found 1300m at Warwick Farm too short when he resumed from a four-month spell last start. Placed 2/2 at this trip and performs better with a run under the belt. Will enjoy a cheap run from gate one and should be tough to hold out with the light weight. LITTLE JEANIE (1) made it two minor placings from as many appearances this prep when runner-up over 1300m at Warwick Farm 16 days ago, beating home a few of today's key rivals. Open to further improvement. KOTAISHI (4) wound up strongly at the end of 1850m at Newcastle recently. Back in distance but the blinkers will sharpen him up. GLEBE (6) wasn't beaten far when fresh from a 19-week break over 1400m at Kembla last start. Will be running on hard. DOLZINO (3) is racing well at the provincials and with a soft lead might be hard to catch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Balmierro a nice bet at double-figure odds.
