Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. WAVE DANCER (5) has been threatening in stronger maidens than this and her figures have stayed consistent across her recent runs. That level stacks right up now and McDougall goes on board. Finds the right race now and can land the knockout blow. HIGHWAY ROBBERY (2) is on debut today and is a half-sibling to the handy Highway Strip. He hit the line nicely in his latest trial which was only 750m. This trip fresh looks to suit, Loy rides and a forward showing is expected on debut. SYMBOL OF STATE (9) is better than she showed last start, finding them too speedy over 900m. Getting up to this trip looks a good move and she has enough speed to get across from the tricky draw. Can put her best foot forward. MISS STEFFI (7) trialled nicely behind a smart one in readiness for this and won't be far away in her fresh run for the new stable. ISA JET (1) is right back in grade today with the Blinkers going on for the first time. Can show vast improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wave Dancer finds the right race.
