Loose Love to take charge ahead of Persian Dancer at a solid tempo. DAZE OFF (8) trained on the track and scored a commanding victory with the 61kg as fav over 1200m at Wagga. Confidence is high and deserves her chance in this stronger contest. PERSIAN DANCER (6) closed off strongly at her first run back and indicated a win was imminent when second over 1400m at Wagga in BM82 class. Claim helps again and not to be underestimated. NATS ENOUGH (7) nice return in stronger company when attacking the line late to run third over 1400m at Wagga. Clearly come back well and a win looks imminent. EXPLOSIVE ROSIE (9) resumed with a slick on pace win at this track two back. Raced flat and failed to get into the contest when ninth over 1200m at Kilmore. Stretches out to this trip for the first time and goes into the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Daze Off to win again.
