Tactical. Tricky. MAKE A DECISION (2) has been busting to win and will be better for the last outing. Has been briefly freshened and gets another chance. DANTES (1) resumes and has trialled well. He's good enough and has placed 2/2 second up. A bold run is on the cards. LI'L HAIL MARY (6) has been well-trialled for her return and has a handy 2kg claim. She's capable and also has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Make A Decision.
