Doubtfree, Cassimir and Foreman's Gully can set a strong tempo. HEAVENLY KISS (2) resumed as a $3.3 favourite and delivered a CL2 at Wagga Riverside over 1200m. Maps for the run of the race and an in-form hoop sticks aboard. Seeks the hat-trick and fitter she will get every chance. DOUBTFREE (8) is free running and has switched to the Scott barn on a 27-day return. Found one much too good here last time, but the form prior stacks up. McDougall stays aboard, and the betting will be key. DOORALONG (4) was a big Maiden winner at Moruya and may have got the tongue over the bit at Canberra following starting at short odds. Heywood is a key jockey engagement and fitter again, he can get back on track. SANTOLINI (9) did a good job winning a CL1 here comfortably. The wide barrier is a niggle, but she can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Heavenly Kiss.
