Divine Fire to roll forward and dictate terms. DIVINE FIRE (4) is knocking on the door and is desperate to break through soon. Backs up quickly from Sunday where she was well backed but found one better again. Rock-hard fit and gets another great chance to end the drought. I LOVE THIS SONG (5) has returned in good order and is going from strength to strength. Nearing his top now and rates a big threat. UNITED LEGEND (3) is nearing another win. Got too far back last time at Murray Bridge but was good late. The rise in trip is no worry. DEXTER DREAM (11) is somehow still a maiden after 21 goes but the winners around him read well for this. Gets in light and is a genuine chance. TAUPO TIGER (2) knuckled down bravely to hold off challengers at Wodonga last time. This is tougher but Holder's booking is a good push. SUGGESTED PLAY: Divine Fire to win.
