Genuine tempo with the speedy Da Snoop Dog leading the way. HAPPY BELLIE (9) switched from a Sydney barn and turned in a strong run over 1200m at Eagle Farm last time, ridden back before placing third. Drops back in trip but has raced well in Sydney over 1100m and the claim is handy. Rates well and fitter will finish hard. DA SNOOP DOG (4) resumed at the Gold Close this trip and just missed from the pace. Two back he was nudged out in a 64 at Randwick second-up and that form reads well. LOVECATS (16) resumes for a sharp stable with a 2kg claim and an inside gate. Missed a nose in a 62 at Ipswich when last seen and has two trials under the belt. Has claims if presented forward. ICED CHOCOLATE (10) switched from a Victorian barn and did about what was expected first-up. Proven second-up and she's also in good hands. Needs a good ride but keep onside. ELRONTE (14) has been racing below best, but fourth-up may show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Happy Bellie.
