Rafa Bay or Mover And Shaker to lead the small field. MOVER AND SHAKER (1) was sent out at $51 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1000m at this track. Talented galloper with a strong record this course and distance. Hard to beat again. RAFA BAY (4) lines up on the back of a 1.75 lengths fourth over 1000m at this track behind Mover And Shaker. Goes well here and can improve sharply. PLUS FOUR (5) finished seventh, beaten 4 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Nice weight drop for this. Better than the latest run suggests and can improve sharply. MAGIC TATTOO (2) produced a better run last start, beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth over 1000m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
