Strong tempo assured with Corpulent and Ridgeback leading the way over Heliconia. SHE CAN SALSA (10) showed pace when resuming on a heavy track here last start but was a spent force at the end of the 1300m. Will take a lot from that run and on firmer footing over more ground she makes plenty of appeal. LEON RUBEN (4) produced an eye-catcher over this course and distance two starts ago then wasn't suited dropping back in trip last time when out of the money on the Illawarra Grange circuit. In the right race to bounce back to form. I AM OVERS (8) ran a couple of nice races before struggling a bit on heavy ground here at the last appearance 18 days ago. Draws the fence and finds the right set-up to return to form. WEE WINN (11) got going when the race was all over in a 1400m Newcastle maiden recently. Lightly raced filly who should relish getting to the mile for the first time. CORPULENT (2) tired at the end of 1890m at Newcastle last start. Can improve with this drop back in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: She Can Salsa to win.
