Strong early tempo with Lovedup Lola and Tennessee Spirit leading the way. CACCHIONE (2) was just fair last time at Pakenham Synthetic, his first go on an all-weather surface, but had been coming along well prior in much stronger maidens. Fancy he'll be better for that experience and back to 1000m should suit much better anyway. FILIGREE SHADOW (6) wasn't far away on debut on the turf here when well supported as a $3.50 hope to grab fourth. She'll be better for that and the stable are flying on this track. TENNESSEE SPIRIT (11) didn't handle the heavy 10 at Wangaratta but had been close up in town fresh. This suits nicely, she should be bouncing back. LOVEDUP LOLA (12) was okay on debut at Donald when in the market and is expected to improve quickly for the top yard on firmer footing. BLACKHILL BOY (1) resumes with minor claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cacchione to win.
