From the inside gate Cassie's Lad can show speed with Prince Of Arendell and Alabama Blitz prominent. EARTH DANCE (1) has changed stables and been given a freshen up since a poor effort over 2100m at Gosford five weeks ago. Best form is good enough so while fresh he can play a role at big odds. FIGHTING MAGNUS (11) surrendered an early lead and was just plain from there in a BM66 over 2100m at Tuncurry recently. Better placed back to this trip - another one at a juicy quote who can do a lot better. MAH ALI (8) has been about the mark in her last three runs, most recently when runner-up over the mile at Canberra. Not a prolific winner but should be in the frame somewhere. UNCLE HARRY (9) worked home late when resuming over 1500m here a fortnight ago. Will appreciate this step up in trip and is worth including. OCEANFRONT (5) has been freshened up and can continue the steady form he has displayed all prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Earth Dance each-way.
