Enterprise Lassie should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. LIVALITTLE (3) got a well-deserved win at the Gold Coast last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Winning rider Martyn sticks in the saddle and again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim. Rates the testing material. The well-related SAN GABRIEL (1) (half to G2 winner Wymark) had been competitive in town of late before just running into one better here at the latest effort. Best figures measure up nicely. BAVARIAN LADY (2) has won three of her past four in lesser grade but it's hard to knock mares in form. One for the exotics players. ENTERPRISE LASSIE (5) rounds out the small field. Showed sharp improvement last start at Beaudesert but probably has to improve again for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Livalittle to win again.
