They should run this along with Belnera and Rita Red taking it up over Commanding Shadow. HOWIE DO IT (3) is a Yes Yes Yes gelding on debut for the Danielle Seib stable. Has the benefit of a Rosehill trial to bring him on. Looks well placed to make a bright start. RITA RED (6) backs up quickly after a solid third at Griffith where she had support in betting. Drawn to get every chance and shapes as a major player. STORMY REIGN (9) resumes and has his second start for the crafty Pepper stable. Suspect he's come on during the break and can give this a shake. COMMANDING SHADOW (8) was honest first-up before a flat run second-up. Can bounce back with fitness on his side. Top four hope here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Howie Do It.
