Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. It's hard to knock the form of ROWEINER'S DANCE (1) who has strung three wins together on the bounce and is racing high on confidence of late. Has remarkably won 13 races over this course and distance and should be right here at the business end again. RUSSIAN MINT (5) got a well-deserved victory here at the latest effort and winning hoop Bellamy sticks in the irons. No reason why he cannot salute again. SWEET KISSES (4) goes well for rider Sandkuhl who has two wins and three placings from just six steers. Again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim and can make her presence felt. HELLISH (3) has won two from three at the circuit and should find this easier than recent NSW efforts. Can run a race while fresh. VALENKI (2) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Roweiner's Dance to continue the picket fence.
