GENUINE IMITATION (2) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 13 metres into fifth at this track over 2000m. Facing a tougher assignment but from this better draw she is up to the task. DAVE DULEY (6) has been tackling higher-graced races of late. First appearance at this venue but will relish the drop in class. MANAVUE (3) was out of the money two runs back at this track then was at his best last start to score by 5 metres over 2000m at the same circuit. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance in this comparable race. RUN BLAZE RUN (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5.5 metres at this track over 2000m.
