Good pace expected with Kunapipi, Line Of Thought and On Just Terms paving the way. TANGO RHYTHM (7) has returned in top order, scoring as the race favourite last start over 1200m with a strong run from the back. Out to this trip now is no issue on her form last campaign and things look to shape nicely for her again. Can work through the grades now. YES I BELIEVE (4) finished third last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the final stages. Generally goes well here. Bold showing expected. ALMA MATER (5) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when ninth over 1400m at this track Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BLOWIN' SMOKE (2) started at $7.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths at this track over 1400m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. KUNAPIPI (8) won't be far away on recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tango Rhythm can get the job done.
