Solid tempo with Lady Wardell going forward from the good draw. RHYTHM IS A DANCER (1) smart gelding who looks well placed on the quick backup after finishing a narrow fourth over 1400m at Scone last Friday. Proven at this trip and should be too good for these. LADY WARDELL (3) tough mare ready to bounce back at her fourth run in. Never in the contest when covering ground in the run with a fading eighth over 1200m at Eagle Farm. Earlier efforts were sound and will find this easier with the claim. Improver. FORTYFIVE PARKLANE (10) races best with his runs spaced and drops further in weight with the claim. Saves his best for this distance range and expecting more from the inside gate after disappointing at Grafton. Value player. CAMBOURNE (2) finding it hard win but latest run had merit when sitting on the speed for a gritty third over 1200m at Dubbo. Gets a similar setup here and the change of rider could do the trick. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rhythm Is A Dancer to win.
