Zouandme, Spoiler and Diva Rouge can set a good tempo.
DIVA ROUGE (2) has only raced twice and hasn't been too far off the money in better maidens than this. Raced wide on the speed last start and did a good job to hold on for fourth. Looks a fair bit better than these. KOOL BRUCE (6) has been freshened up since racing handy all the way to finish third over 1350m at Warwick five weeks ago. Has performed well over this trip in the past. One of the better chances. STOLEN SHOW (8) was ridden aggressively before dropping out over 1000m at Tamworth at his last run three weeks ago. Gets in well under today's scale in an easier maiden. Can improve sharply. SPOILER (7) is a chance if she can find the form that saw her finish second in a decent maiden at Port Macquarie two back. ZOUANDME (5) gets a few gear changes today and might be the big improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Diva Rouge.
