Foxsky might not get things his own way up front with a few first starters engaged. Siding with DREAM IF YOU CAN (5), a first-starter by Shamus Award out of Strangest Dream for the Patrick Payne yard who are going very well, as is Billy Egan. This is a winnable race and he can go close first time of asking. FOXSKY (6) has been thereabouts lately, on the pace before fading to finish fourth over 1200m at Mornington last start. He sets a decent standard and should take catching. COME DANCING (9) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at Kilmore over 1107m, beaten 9 lengths, notably sent out a $3.20 hope. Expect a much better run. ONA BIVVY (8) is a three-year-old gelding by Bivouac for the McArdle yard who can run well first time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dream If You Can to win.
