Plenty of speed engaged with Barocco Bar, Cheerful Cat and Shot Down By Love going forward ahead of Cook Island Girl and Force Me. SHOWDRA (6) ran on strongly but too late at Warwick 15 days ago over 1500m. She is perfectly placed over 1900m third up and with the advantage of the pole position, she can figure in the top 3. FORCE ME (14) failed to fire a shot on a very testing track at Ballina last time out after finishing third at Casino before that. She has won 3 times on this track, and is worth another chance. Each way. SHAPE OF WATER (8) bounced back into form here 17 days ago when finishing third over this trip. That was his first run over ground, and he will be right in the finish again. BAROCCO BAR (1) steps up over a middle distance for the first time, and should not be underestimated in a field like this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Showdra each way.
