Plenty of pace on show, headed by Mafee, Innocent Enuff and Pick 'N' Mix. Good little race. FARAWAY DREAM (6) has been solid in two runs back and should be ready to fire now in what looks a nice race for her following a few key scratchings. PICK 'N' MIX (4) has jumped out well and looks to get all the favours from the good draw. Rates well and looms as a major threat. ROSANGELA (10) won well last start and has to be a strong chance if able to repeat. OBUCCI (9) also won well last start and appears the next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Faraway Dream.
