In the small field Jason Darren or Firealarm should find the front. AVISTA (4) progressive Maurice filly who continued where she left off first-up with a dominant victory over 1300m at Scone. Held in high regard by the stable and looks hard to stop again. HINUNE (7) made a mess of them two-back at Goulburn over this trip, then jumped in distance with a battling seventh over 1700m at Scone. Drops in weight and trip and stays in the mix. TALKACHINO (2) drifted back early and ran below expectations when fifth over 1400m at Scone. Gets a better setup for this and can run into the minor money. INVASIVE DREAMS (1) tongue-tie goes on and ready for this distance third-up. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Avista has the upside to continue the winning momentum.
