Solid tempo with Super Duck leading. Gollin-trained HURTS SO GOOD (1) went back-to-back in a 68 at Doomben starting at a short quote. Orman replaces Maloney and the gelding can go on with the job. YES TO EXCESS (9) had the first time blinkers applied and spiked his figures winning the CL3 at the Sunshine Coast. Maps for a soft run and she'd be a solid each-way chance holding that form. BEAUTANTES (3) resumes and has pieces of form that would see him very competitive. The late betting will be key with him. Stablemate READY AZZ EVA (2) also resumes and has trialled well here over 1000m. Rodd sticks from that and he also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Hurts So Good.
