Fast pace assured with Dubai Affair, Novalargo and Zuni leading the charge. ANTHEIA (6) was well fancied in tougher class last time but ran well below best, fading to the tail late. Back in grade and has a good record over this course and distance. Well worth another chance. GEEGEEHAILSTORM (8) has put together a string of minors, the latest this course and distance. Rarely out of the placings here and should feature again. NOVALARGO (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.3 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Has ability and will take catching despite the wide draw. RARE ORO (12) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when ninth over 1200m at Hobart. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance. ROUNDLE PARK (5) is another back in trip and is one to keep in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Antheia can atone.
