Not much early pressure but Frosty Night, Nicoffhome and Sweater Girl can take up forward spots. TAUNG (4) resumes and has shown promise in better company. Kicking off at 1400m won't be an issue and we expect him to be ready to go. Has an awkward barrier but is suited. SWEATER GIRL (10) resumed here with a solid effort this trip and then was beaten by the same margin on the course proper. Fitter again and John Allen is a key jockey engagement. Maps to get every chance. FROSTY NIGHT (6) has been busting to win on wet tracks in the country and has his first try on the all-weather. Has the blinkers on first time and will get some of the cash. KITTYHAWK (7) just missed this track/trip two back but was plainer last time. Has been briefly freshened, but note John Allen gets off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taung is hard to go past.
