Small field but expecting a genuine tempo with plenty of pace engaged. MIDNIGHT HUSTLE (2) is a former Victorian who has raced twice for the new yard, placing the first run then leading throughout to score with ease before another break. Tricky gate but goes well fresh and expected to take catching. TANGO STEPZ (6) is a veteran mare but continues to race well and could be over the odds. Has five wins and six minors from 15 at the course and distance and is very well weighted in this with her record. Looks hard to beat on her best. TELLEZ (4) ran below expectations last time finished last year after jumping awkwardly, being gassed early then tiring late. Much better than that and previous few ratings are good for this. RIVER FROST (3) goes well fresh and off the inside should give a sight. BETTER NOT FUSS (5) might find this trip a little sharp but has the ability and should be winding up late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Like Midnight Hustle fresh.
