A solid tempo anticipated with Game Cove and Excuses Excuses ahead of Incivility and Quanapirri Bay. Shaping up as rather an intriguing heat of the Winter Series. TANGO STEPZ (3) looks to have been well set for this, and should be full of confidence after a powerful finishing burst delivered victory last time. Big chance to win this. RIVER FROST (2) was second in that race with a big weight, and rarely puts in a bad one. Capable of turning the tables. QUANAPIRRI BAY (5) put the writing on resuming when runner-up, less than a length off. Should be in the mix again today. MUSELET (4) knows how to play up, but has ability when she puts it together and could bob up here without surprising. INCIVILITY (7) next in line if he can navigate the slightly sticky gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to stay in the corner of TANGO STEPZ who looks primed for a nice win today.
