WRY SMILE (4) has not missed a cheque on this course in 6 starts, and finished a brave third here fresh up 2 weeks ago at long odds. He drops right down in class, and with the added fitness, he is the one to beat, especially after a 4kg claim. MIDORI BURLY (3) has yet to strike form this prep, but with a return to a middle distance, and a drop in class, he can turn it all around at a decent price. ROSINA (6) may not win often, but she has found the right race here. Her recent form is near enough, and she should be among the hardest to beat in this. ORANGE RIVER (8) has won her only race here, and she is another long-time battler who should be included in all top 4 combos to be safe. SLICK CHICK (9) has had no luck at all recently, and the key here will be having a senior hoop replacing a 4kg claiming apprentice. A form reversal is on the cards. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slick Chick and Midori Burly at each-way value.
