Vexatious Dancer and Gitalong should set a strong clip. NEW YORK LUSTRE (3) resumes from a short break with an imposing record. She won all three starts last time in at short quotes, too strong in a BM90 at Sandown Lakeside before a spell. She'll land in a handy spot here and profiles as if she'll continue through the grades. GITALONG (5) resumes for a new yard, now with the Hayes. His form tapered at the end off last campaign, hence the sale, but at his best he'd be a big chance in this and he's won a jump out leading in. Market a good guide. DEEPFLOAT DIVA (10) ran well fresh at Morphettville when third and the Jolly stable must be respected bringing her over. Hard to hold out. FASUTO (2) was narrowly beaten at Bendigo last time out and the fresh run in a good race won by Midwest also reads well. Tough draw but has claims. PORT ALBERT (1) is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing New York Lustre & Gitalong.
