Genuine pace with Thinking Gold, Rosso Levanto and Quality Miss leading the way. ROSSO LEVANTO (2) returned in strong fashion with a solid win at Eagle Farm before just running into a couple better at Doomben last time out. Racing high on confidence this time in work and will be ready to peak now third run back from the break. This is an easier assignment and rates the testing material against this line-up. THINKING GOLD (1) has hit the top-four in all three runs this campaign and looks to be building up to another victory. Looms as the main danger. EMPIRE OF ART (4) doesn't win out of turn but has placed three from three around this circuit and is usually thereabouts. Top-three aspirations. SHEDRIVESABENTLEY (7) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should give backers a sight. EMPRESS ASPEN (3) next in line with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rosso Levanto.
