A hot tempo is expected with plenty of speed engaged. PRESS FOR BOOM (2) was put aside after suffering an atrial fibrillation at Hobart in January. She looked in good shape at a recent trial, and did win her first 4 races straight. The winkers are off, and she can get her career back on track fresh up in this sort of field. On top. DANCING WOLF (3) won a trial before producing a modest effort fresh up at Hobart 2 weeks ago. She is unbeaten in a couple of starts second up, and will be hard to hold out in this. POPILITA (9) is resuming from a long spell after having just one start last season in the spring. She was third in a recent trial, and can perform fresh up. Use the market as your best guide. ELEGANTLY WRITTEN (5) is a handy mare resuming from a spell with 2 trials under her belt. She is nicely placed at the weights after a 3kg claim, and all of her 4 career wins have been on this track. Each way. FEAR THE STING (8) played up in the barriers when resuming and should be more settled second up. Include in all multiples to be safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Press For Boom can bounce back to her best, fresh up in this field.
