Solid tempo with Somersault possessing enough dash to find the front. Siding with SOMERSAULT (6) for the Begg yard who resumed with a smart maiden victory at Geelong on wet ground, coming away to score by 0.8 lengths in good time. She'd promised a bit last time in and looks set to go on with it this time around from an ideal draw. TOMMYESS (7) has just found one better in his past couple of starts, beaten a long neck over this route last time out in an encouraging effort. He can go one better with that experience. CALL ME MAURA (4) is a lightly raced filly who won her maiden comfortably as favourite here last time out, no reason she can't go on with it. ELECTRIC ELVIS (2) ran well fresh at Seymour behind a handy one in his first go for the new yard. He can strip fitter and take catching. ANGEL IN BLACK (3) won well fresh at Pakenham Synthetic and has claims for the double. SUGGESTED PLAY: Somersault to win.
