Plenty of runners but a dawdling affair is on the cards. MARITIME DREAM (12) comes here off a 72-day break where he was beaten 4.5L. The apprentice hoop Jason Li rides, getting the filly right down in the weights. Draws to get every chance in this easier maiden and can make a statement. LIKES TO CHANT (8) will appreciate this easier assignment today and is another coming here off a freshen. Derrick hops on board and she looks well placed on what she's done recently. Can feature in this suitable race. DASHING DIVA (11) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into seventh over 1113m at Geraldton. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. COSTA STAR (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Geraldton over 1113m. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DARK OPAL (7) has trialled well coming into this and can put her best foot forward with the form she brings in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Maritime Dream makes the most appeal.
