Slick pace with Street Of Dreams finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. PIVOT CITY (12) is a Group 2 placegetter who has been very good in two BM78 sprints this prep. Opened with a barnstorming win at Flemington, then gave away a big start but got within a length of the winner over 1200m at Moonee Valley last start. Out to 1300m on a bigger track looks perfect. EL ROCKO (14) staged a form reversal last time out when beaten a whisker in a BM84 over 1500m at Moonee Valley. Handy sprinter when right, so now that he has found some form is worth following. The consistent CARBONADOS (11) just failed under 60kgs over 1400m at Geelong last start. Gets a bit of relief here and the blinkers going on may add some spark. SUNSHINEINMYPOCKET (13) flies when fresh so keep her in mind off an eight-week let-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pivot City.
