Plenty of pace from Attaboom, Ryanman and Command Order primarily. PRINCESS TORO (6) can bounce back here third up. The first up run at Cranbourne was good in a handy Class 1 before struggling on soft going at Geelong. It wouldn't surprise to see her take well to the synthetic. HOT ONE (11) was in the market but struggled badly at Echuca last out. Her form prior, including a maiden win, was rock solid and she can improve. RYANMAN (2) is coming off a solid maiden win at Werribee as favourite, scoring at her sixth start. Should land in a handy spot from the low gate and take catching. COMMAND ORDER (1) resumes for a new yard. He may need further than this but has some ability and wouldn't shock. RUSSIAN SUMMER (9) was better here last time and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Princess Toro to win.
