Expecting My Mate Elvis to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. TASSY FOX (7) nine-start maiden mare who looks to find her race today. Gave her all in a tougher contest when fifth over 1200m at Wagga. No excuses here from the low gate. SENSESATIONAL STAR (6) can make rapid improvement over this trip in what looks a winnable race. Found the 1000m too short when seventh at Wagga, Must respect on the quick backup. BABY DAISY (5) failed to stretch out in the heavy (9) going with a plodding seventh over 1100m at Nowra first-up. Will derive great benefit from that outing and shapes as a top-three player. TWICE AS QUICK (8) two career starts have been average and will appreciate Ella Bent's 3kg claim. In leading yard and can race a little closer today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tassy Fox can get the job done.
