Pace looks sure to be genuine with Calathinite and Chantilly Girl matching motors, closely followed by Grundy Three Votes. CALATHINITE (1) found one marginally better when fresh from a break last start over 1200m at this track after being prominent throughout. Can spear over from a wide draw. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. CHANTILLY GIRL (6) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 1.2 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she should be in the finish again. OUR SHILLAYLEIGH (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1300m at Northam. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. COCOON GIRL (9) was second-up from a break and having her first try on a dirt track when 6 lengths back in sixth at this track over 1200m. Solid each-way claims. HELL'S CITI (3) can win again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Calathinite can put his best foot forward.
