Genuine tempo from Horseback Heaven leading Commanding Shadow. QUICK SPELL (6) powered home into second last start at Leeton, adding another minor placing to the tally. Still knocking on the door and gets another great chance to break through. ZIPPY ARGENTO (4) is a D’argento colt on debut for Joe Cleary. Impressed in his most recent trial at Canberra and looks one of the key hopes, despite the tricky draw. COMMANDING SHADOW (5) was a big improver at Leeton last time when boxing on bravely into second. Finds another suitable race and is a live chance. THE THIRD WISH (10) finds it tough to get off the mark but has ratings littered through her form that suggest she can play a role in this line-up. UPINTHECITY (11) lacks early speed but could cause them a scare late if the pace is genuine early. Keeping safe in minors. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Quick Spell.
