Despite the wide draw Thinking Gold has the dash to cross and lead a low-pressure contest. Very competitive with a dozen of these looking close to a maiden win. TEAM HEIST (11) could be some value though. Finished midfield over further last time when she lacked a change of gears but freshened since. Worth noting career best figure was the start prior over this trip when hitting the line hard and just missing. Looks hard to hold out in this with repeat of that run. DANCING DOLLY (7) is sure to be well fancied after placing at both runs this time in. Looks suited by the extra ground and expected to go close. ZEACTION (4) made his debut in NZ with a minor placing, then switched barns and made his Australian debut with another third fresh. Fitter and is worth following up. DRAW ATTENTION (8) caught the eye fresh over a mile with a second behind Dark Simba and can only be fitter for the extra ground. Another close to getting off the mark. TABOR (12) has been building to a win in richer maidens and should be winding up strongly in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Give Team Heist another chance.
