Moderate pace only with Dubai Affair leading Smash 'N' Grab. DUBAI AFFAIR (9) peaks off narrow defeats this track/trip. She will settle forward and a leading striker sticks aboard. She finds the right race. BUNKER JAKO (3) debuts and has looked sharp at the trials. Pires sticks from the latest and he's likely to use the inside gate to advantage. The betting will be key. THE MOUNTAINEER (2) switched from a Victorian barn and just missed on the synthetic. He's been giving away starts, but is good enough at best. SURPRISE SECRET (10) was only beaten 2L at Hobart first-up and is sure to improve on that. Maps well and keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dubai Affair with the race form/experience.
