Genuine tempo with the speedy Betterlucknexttime leading the way. BIANCA MIA (5) brings NSW formlines to the table and is sure to find this assignment much more to her liking. Strips fitter second-up from the break and gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim. Rates the testing material aganst this line-up. BETTERLUCKNEXTTIME (1) has placed two from two around this circuit and looks to be on the doorstep of another victory. Top-three candidate on best figures. FARAWAY DOWNS (8) strips fitter second-up from the spell and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Should be kept very safe. MISTER DOOBEE (4) saves his best form for this circuit and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bianca Mia to salute.
