Solid tempo with Italian Dancer leading from Tonkatsu Goddess and Acapulco Girl. Former Victorian TIZ WORTHY (4) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this much easier than what she faced down south. Revved up for this with two recent trials and gets Maloney on board from the inside marble. Plenty to like about her prospects. ACAPULCO GIRL (1) returned in fine fashion with a strong Doomben victory and winning rider Butler sticks in the stirrups. Can go right on with the job now. ITALIAN DANCER (7) is a two-time winner here who gets 2kg off with the claim and maps nicely from gate two. Include in calculations. CARBONARA (10) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 4,1,7.
