A solid tempo on the cards with Wolf Dancer heading them off. COWGIRL LILLY (19) tough old mare who bounced back to form in the heavy going when third over 1610m at this track. Well drawn again and has an okay record on her home track. TOOTSIE (11) back in grade and assess on earlier efforts in the soft going. Just over a month between runs after a tiring ninth in a 1400m contest at Coffs Harbour a month ago. Extra trip in her favour and looks good each way value. SUN TOPAZE (12) bounced off his good second two back with a tough victory over 1700m here at latest. Confidence is high and gets his chance again. HE'S A COPY BOY (4) resumed with an eye-catching second in the heavy (8) going over 1410m at this track. Goes equally as well second up and can race closer from the low draw. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cowgirl Lilly each-way.
