Expecting Wiluna Lass to take up the running with Swingman and Door Buster close at hand. SNITZALATTE (1) came into his fresh run without a trial but was too good, winning by 0.3L over this track and trip 17 days ago. Nottle hops on board and she looks like a filly with above-average ability. She's won 2/3 at this track and trip previously and there's no reason why she can't repeat the dose. SWINGMAN (2) led them up over this track and trip last start when gunned down late in the race by Snitzalatte. Likely to take up the running once again and he gets a weight swing in his favour today. Should be up front again and can turn the tables this time around. DOOR BUSTER (5) returned in good order behind what looks a smart one over this trip at Belmont 24 days ago. She'll be fitter for that effort and the blinkers go on for the first time now. Maps to get every chance and can put herself into the finish. SLIP THE JAB (3) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Snitzalatte can go on with the job.
