Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Gottacookacurry. BIG SISTER AVA (11) missed 1L over this trip at Kilmore on debut and then raced favourite again at Ballarat, beaten 2.2L. Will have taken further fitness and learning, and John Allen goes aboard. In the premier stable, and is suited to this grade. KINGSFORD (3) didn't miss a beat, narrowly beaten at Warrnambool first-up. Has the inside barrier, and Yendall and the step up to the mile is ideal. Has been kept on the fresh side and is a serious player. VEGAS DANCER (14) resumed improved beaten a nose at Swan Hill over this distance. This is a bit tougher, but she has plenty of scope for improvement and should get every chance. THE TORONADO KID (7) resumed over a short sprint and needed the run. He's going to be much more competitive with that under his belt and with the step-up to the mile. Look for him to hit the line late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Big Sister Ava.
