|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo with Wet Fat Cat and Queen Nina leading the way. WET FAT CAT (7) resumes here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough to feature in a race like this. Has placed over this sprint journey and gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim. Can return in winning order. LOADED GUN (4) looked good when resuming with a solid third at Ipswich and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Looms as the main danger. DOLLY'S A NATURAL (8) has placed two from three over this track and trip and may earn some minor money again. BOITUMELO (9) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wet Fat Cat to shed the maiden tag.
