A solid tempo from Foreman's Gully, Majestic Maremma and Rockbarton Shout all kicking up to take advantage of their low draws. Very open affair. MAJESTIC MAREMMA (16) had been racing well and thoroughly deserved her maiden win last time out over 900m at Corowa. Goes well here at this trip so from a nice gate she is a major player again. MAGNOLIA STAR (13) returned from a seven-month spell with an authoritative all-the-way win over 900m here three weeks back. Lightly raced mare who looks to be in for her best prep yet so stick with her. ROCKBARTON SHOUT (1) added to an already impressive record with a gutsy win in BM66 at Corowa a fortnight ago. Has plenty of weight but is too honest to rule out. FOREMAN'S GULLY (4) is racing in great heart and enjoys this circuit. Sure to give backers a great sight. WARUI (8) is second-up on a seven-day turnaround. Just ran out of puff at Mornington last week but will be better for that run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Majestic Maremma each-way.
