Plenty of pace evident with Can't Catch Chilli and Alla Rustica leading the way from Guber and Light Work. Some of these have had a lot of tries but chancing ALLA RUSTICA (1) can improve sharply off the Tassie debut. Heavily backed first run for the yard and was bustled up soaking up plenty of pressure up front and was on one rein around the turn, before fading out of it. Blinkers added and sure to be improved. Tricky gate but worth another chance. COOL AS YOU (2) was solid here last time over 1150m at this track and steps up in journey. Will be hitting the line hard. LIGHT WORK (10) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1650m here. Well placed this line-up and gets chance. AWESOME ORPHAN (7) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1650m at this track. Placed 2/2 this course and distance and gets chance to atone. EO DAVINCI (5) has placed 3/3 course and distance and looks a top-three contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alla Rustica can atone.
