Expecting plenty of speed from Alleviate, Blue Bandit and Dihheri from Bencouver. SHIDAN (6) was a dominant winner third up over this route in similar company, settling midfield and charging away to score by four lengths in an impressive display. Stackhouse sticks from a soft draw and a repeat of that effort sees him awfully hard to beat again. Wary of ALLEVIATE (10) who led throughout to take her maiden nicely at Sale last time, beating Royal Honour who is entered in Race 4. She got an easy time in front there but did it well and can bounce to the lead again here. BLUE BANDIT (2) was solid last time over this track and trip, not beaten far having won well prior. He draws to effect and will give a sight. MARLION'S DREAM (8) doesn't win out of turn but is going well and back onto firmer footing should suit. PEARL KING (5) resumes having won a Bunbury maiden when last seen, not discounting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shidan on top.
