Plenty of pace evident with Tussock and Stay A While leading the way from Whistler Girl and The Satisfyer. Most of these are struggling for winning form. DASHING DONKEY (1) was fifth in a deeper race last time and did win the start prior when raced on the speed and fought on well. Well placed this grade and gets chance to bounce back. LITTLE RICHIE TURF (3) has been trying to recapture his best, the latest a solid fifth over a mile and was runner-up the start prior. Fitter again and looks ready for the longer journey now. Top chance. BO COUGAR (7) was well in commission last time but disappointed over 1800m at Coleraine. Solid the run prior in tougher company. Better than last run and gets chance to bounce here. PENDANTE (5) hasn't been far away at last couple of runs. Has a low draw and looks nicely placed with the claim. One of the main hopes. WHISTLER GIRL (9) led until the final stages last time over 1800m in a solid run. Expected to give a sight again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dashing Donkey gets chance.
