They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. Lots of these are struggling to win but sticking with BALISTIQUE (10) who is one of the few with upside. Lightly raced mare tested in stakes class at a mile as a three-year-old. Regained form last time with an effortless all the way win at Strathalbyn. Drops in weight and drawn to take running down again. IMA SHELBY (4) raced on speed last time before fading on the main track here last time. This is easier and looks a great opportunity to atone. CLEITUS (2) was going well before a poor run last time. Has since freshened and changed stables. Rates well on best and can bounce back. MAXILDO (8) is going better than the last couple suggest and will find this easier. Has the claim and is capable on his day. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up with Balistique.
