Dubawi's Girl should find the front with Airswing and Think Like Paddy on her heels. SAN JOSE BOY (3) is a model of consistency who has hit the top-five in eight of nine starts to date and is one from one over this track and trip. Gets the services of Thornton in the saddle and another solid performance is expected. THINK LIKE PADDY (5) got the maiden out of the way last time out and can go right on with the job now. Shapes as one to consider. DUBAWI'S GIRL (11) gets in well at the weights with the claim and is drawn to get across easily from gate three. In the mix. SAVANNAH GANGSTER (1) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. Include in mutliples. THAT'S YOU (10) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: San Jose Boy to run his usual honest race.
