West Cliff to take up the running at a moderate tempo. RED DATES (3) found city class too sharp last time but this is a much more suitable third-up assignment. Rise in trip suits and Milnes takes the reins. Ready to make a serious impact. DEFICIT (10) was midfield in town last start but drops in grade. Has genuine claims. HIDDEN BOUNTY (7) broke her maiden in style at Mt Gambier and stays fresh. Lightly raced, gets in light, and reunites with Crowther. Can measure up. HASTA LA FIORENTE (1) ran well fresh despite no market support. Deserves more respect this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Red Dates is ready to win.
