---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting a keen tempo with Decanted set alight, joined by Gregarious Girl and Castelli In Aria up front. FASTOSO (12) has impressed both race starts with the latest in town with Lane aboard. He rides again today and can steer a soft passage from the handy gate. Strips fitter again and is well placed to win. CASTELLI IN ARIA (6) missed a whisker at Echuca, improving sharply. She jumped a hot favourite and will be better for the outing. The form stacks up. Wary of CAVALRY (1), who resumes off a solid debut effort at Hawkesbury over this distance. He won a recent jumpout at Canterbury and Jamie Melham's booking suggests he's pleasing. The late betting will be key. DANCING DOLLY (7) resumes and has placed 4/4 fresh. Won her jumpout and maps for the run of the race. She won't have to be much improved to feature. NOBLE STEED (4) has ability and goes into the exotics at least. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Fastoso.
