Speed should be right on over the 1050m journey. DA SNOOP DOG (5) switches to synthetic for the first time. Form in two runs this campaign has been very good including a last start third, beaten 0.7 lengths, over 1000m on turf at Sunshine Coast. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is a key runner. STEFFI ELECTRICA (12) tackling the synthetic for the first time today on her return from a brief layoff. Kicked off the last campaign with a third at Lismore over 1120m. Well placed to make an impact straight away. MARATHIA (9) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1200m at Ipswich. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. CHARLOTTE'S HERE (11) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1150m at this track when beaten 5.5 lengths. Top-three aspirations. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Da Snoop Dog.
