Abundant early pace from Miss Ava taking up the running ahead of Do It Right. Wide open race to end the day. STOP DREAMING (4) ran home well over this track and trip last time out, beaten just 0.9L. At peak fitness snow and he draws a better gate for Chris Parnham who remains in the saddle. Was favourite last time out and looks well placed to get the job done this time. PRESIDENT SAM (8) scored narrowly at Pinjarra last start and looks ready to go on with the job. Third-up and out to this trip for just the second time, but he did perform well on that occasion. Wide draw hurts but he's bound to be in the finish if he gets the breaks. MISS AVA (1) was very strong on resumption, winning by 0.6L and she immediately steps out to this trip. It's the first time she's been to this distance which is a niggle, but she has raced well at a mile previously. Gets in nicely after the claim and is not to be discounted. BLACK FOR CASH (6) has strong claims after the last start effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Stop Dreaming in the last.
