Solid tempo anticipated with Fast Track and Yabby Pump leading the way. STRAWBERRY IMPACT (7) blasted a maiden field away last start. Up in grade but with a no excuses draw at the same trip can measure up. YABBY PUMP (2) was given a much tougher assignment last start but his first up win was a confident one. Poorly drawn but can bounce back in this line-up. LOUNERSE (8) is holding her form stoutly and looks well weighted slightly back in grade. Can easily make a case for in an open event. Everything clicked for PELOSA (15) as a maiden winner last start. Well drawn at a similar trip can aim up. INVASIVE DREAMS (6) is hard fit with a horror draw. Genuine wet tracker though so monitor conditions. SUGGESTED PLAY: Strawberry Impact win.
