Speedy Target should lead at a slick tempo. NASDAQ DUBAI (8) doesn't win out of turn but looks ready to run a big race. Went close to scoring fresh and has since hit the line nicely in his three following runs. Comes in on the fresh side as he makes his stable debut for the new mentor. Can make it a winning start. SPEEDY TARGET (2) didn't give them a sniff here last start when leading pillar-to-post. Has enough early dash to offset the wide alley and should prove tough to reel in again. DUSAN (6) chased soundly into fourth when resuming last time at Ipswich. Sure to have come on from the hit out and will appreciate the extra journey. ROCKY RIDE (3) was a determined winner two back and then chased solidly into a midfield finish last time. Goes well over this distance and is right in the mix. WANJINA ROSE (4) sets up well for this off the back of two minor placings to kick off the prep. Should be nearing her peak now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Nasdaq Dubai.
