More Money Please and Tizso Fab possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. A good race. AUTUMN SLIDE (6) brought strong form to resumption and took out the Maiden racing forward. It was a tidy effort off a 311-day break and she will have taken plenty of fitness. Has an awkward barrier but one of the nation's best jockeys has come to ride. She has more up her sleeve and can go on with the job. SNATCHED (7) was sharply better winning her Maiden and then spiked her figures again just missing in a 64. In a leading metro barn and is a decent chance to bounce. SHOELESS (5) was nudged out at Bendigo and peaks off that. He is right up to this at best. DELTA SKY (9) resumes and has placed 2/3 fresh. They've booked McDougall and she needs to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Slide appeals most.
