Strong pace from She's A Dealer and Led A Merry Dance matching motors with Graces Gift close at hand. CHUR NIBBLE (2) was second on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 1.75 lengths at the end of 1200m at Matamata. Definite improver on that run. Well drawn again and he is a win chance in this field. LAGARDE (9) this is easier here than last start. Quinella and trifecta chance here without any doubt. LED A MERRY DANCE (3) has been three times placed. All came clockwise. Can handle dry and wet ground too. Has claims in this line up. VENETIAN (11) is an improver on fresh up run. Best races so far have come clockwise. Not out of this at overs. SHE'S A DEALER (12) is better than debut shows. Dual trial winner prior. Wide draw but definitely give another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lagarde is a win wager.
