Me Name's Harry can slide across and take up the running in a race devoid of early pace. DASHING DOUBLE (6) returns and makes his stable debut for the Bain & Taylor partnership. Found the maiden win elusive back in NSW but it certainly wasn't without trying and showed plenty of promise. Readied with a trial and gets a key booking in Pannell from a good gate. Can hit the ground running. SETTLE PETAL (12) drifted back early here on debut last start then worked home strongly to finish a length away in second. Is sure to have come on from that but is drawn wide again. Watch for her charging late. MAYSOONFLY (10) comes through the same race, only finishing a further neck away. Building nicely and has a map edge over the top pick. Have to take seriously. ELITE THUNDER (1) was a flashing light fresh but then again left himself with too much to do last time at Strathalbyn. Blinkers go on to hopefully sharpen him up. If Toeroek can utilise the low draw, he's a major threat. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dashing Double to win.
