Genuine tempo with Dame Florence and Ertijaaj pressing for the lead. DAME FLORENCE (6) has just found one better in two starts to date, bumping into a smart winner on debut at Cranbourne before a very close up effort at Sandown Lakeside when rising to 1400m, just edged out by Bonus Season who brought in good maiden form. 1500m third up from a soft draw looks ideal. NORTH DAKOTA (2) ran a much better race at his second start, closing off well for third behind Dame Florence at Sandown. He looks suited to an extra 100m now. ERTIJAAJ (3) comes here having run at Haydock Park in the UK on debut when third in a decent maiden. Now with the Chris Waller yard, wary of any support. PARI MOI (4) has had a few more chances than some but ran well last time at Cranbourne and gets every chance from the inside gate. ZANE ZENA (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dame Florence to win.
