Strong pace with Mystic Wonder and Khadime driving across from their wide draws. LOVELYCUT (2) looks well placed third up. Both runs back have been good but she really caught the eye with a strong finish here last start to just miss by a long neck. 1400m seems her best trip and a repeat effort goes a long way to winning. She finished ahead of MADIYYA (4) there who was first up and ran on well in her own right for a narrow fourth. Staying at 1400m is a little niggle but she should come on from that and has always shown good ability. XARPO (3) tried hard at Bendigo last start but was just edged out by a nose. She's been largely consistent this time in and will be hard to run down again. VIVACISSIMO (14) is racing well, off a short spell into last start when running on well to just miss a handy one at Bendigo. She should strip fitter and take holding out. MYSTIC WONDER (7) wasn't far away in G2 company last start and did win prior, have to respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Lovelycut & Madiyya.
