Plenty of first starters engaged which muddies the map a little. It is fair to assume a solid tempo. DANCE THE BOOGIE (3) resumes having debuted in a two-horse field at Bendigo. She finished second (or last) there but the winner boasted stronger form than maiden grade. She's jumped out well and should be a quick improver this time around. FLASH OF CLASS (4) also resumes having run a sound race on debut at Flemington in the Maribyrnong Trial. She should take catching. SHY MISS (9) is a filly by Stay Inside on debut for the Moody & Coleman yard. She was a $400,000 purchase who won her latest trial and looks ready to go. SIMPLY STEFFI (10) was okay on debut in the Merson Cooper behind Eternal Warrior, working home fairly there in a bunched finish. She can do better here. HANDEE (5) is a filly by Hanseatic on debut who has been jumping out well and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dance The Boogie to win.
