Only a small field with Dominant Rose likely to find a comfortable lead. BRADSHAW (1) has returned in fine fettle this year and has posted back-to-back wins on the picnic circuit. She won't find this much harder and has no problem with a wet track. She will still be on the up with her fitness, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, she can complete the hat-trick. LAST LINE DANCE (2) dropped in class and returned to the winners' circle at a recent Innisfail picnic meeting, scoring by over a length 2 weeks ago. She lands a decent draw, and now that she has her confidence back, she can double the dose. CALL ME HILTON (4) did not fire last time out but is better than that and has Wanderson D'Avila in the saddle this time, who won't let him loaf along early on in the run. Don't drop him just yet. MELANIN (6) has found it hard to win another race but looks to be heading in the right direction, after a last-start second on a heavy track at a recent Mareeba picnic meeting. Hard to beat again. RIVALON (7) is racing well. Each way claims again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bradshaw to win.
