Strong tempo from Taga Smile, Xtravagant Gift and Commedia. TAGA SMILE (12) returns after five months in the paddock. Back for her third prep and expected to have developed further. Primed for this with the two trials and finds a winnable contest. FOXY ARTIST (5) another who resumes from a six month break. Had mixed fortunes in his two career starts from wide gates last September. Fitted with the one 900m trial placing from the inside barrier. Leading top-three contender. DIVA ROUGE (9) returned with a sharp on-pace head second over 1100m at Armidale in a Super Maiden. Has to contend with an awkward gate and sure to be about the money today. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. IVANTHEINVINCIBLE (6) Russian Revolution gelding from Empress Matilda on debut for the Matt Dunn yard. Improved at his last two trials and should be forward enough for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,5,9,6.
