Moderate pace from Alpine Rose taking it up with Flight Deck and Theo Five on her back. THE CUBAN (2) continues to race well without winning. Made up a stack of ground but missed by a long neck last start over 1209m at Echuca. Has a far better record this way of going and his best performances have come at seven furlongs. Perfectly placed to grab a well-deserved win. FREDDY'S SHOCK (6) has been giving away big starts in shorter races and struggling to get involved. Crying out for 1400m now and in an easier race he comes right into calculations. ALPINE ROSE (9) went through her gears nicely to get up for third when resuming over 1200m at Wagga Riverside recently. This looks an ideal second-up assignment. DEBOUT BELLE (12) has been easily accounted for in her two runs this prep. Not the most reliable conveyance but with race fitness now on her side a top four finish looks on the cards. THEO FIVE (3) strips fitter and is next best in a race with a long tail. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Cuban is the best bet on the card.
