The speedy trio Shoefella, Rodriguez and Lucky Dollar can set the pace from the outset. EL DANTE (7) won a game race over this distance on the turf last time, despite hanging outwards in the closing stages. Rachel Venniker takes 1.5kgs off his back which will assist his cause. He is likely to race up on the speed and if keeping on a straight line, he may be hard to peg back. DYNALLEY (6) won a good race in his last start over this course and distance. He returns from a spell and if not in need of the run, he should be figuring in the finish. DOWN BY THE RIVER (4) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 2 lengths, at this track over 1700m. Likely to go forward from a nice draw and rates well as a leading contender. LUCKY DOLLAR (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Greyville, beaten one length into fourth. Has raced twice at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the class to take this out.
