With good speed engaged, a strong tempo is anticipated. Can today be the day for RICH LADY (8), who has placed in 10 of her 21 starts to date. Her recent form is solid and she boasts some decent ratings behind handy horses. She gets Jake Toeroek here and has a middle draw to settle where she's happy. Her best wins this. RATNARAJ (3) was backed at a price on debut at Mt Gambier and ran up to that. He's open to natural improvement and will take some catching over the short course. The recent trial from REOFFER (12) suggests he can run a cheeky race fresh, while DAPPER DON (4) and BAD GIRL BUBBLES (6) have both shown glimpses of ability that give them each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rich Lady to win.
