Pace a scorcher, headed by Miss De Blaas, Coincide and Spicy Duck, closely followed by Goodes and Te Pani. SIX MORE SONGS (10) didn't measure up in town before the spell but the three runs to start the career were very solid. Draws the inside alley and gets the deadly Gollan/Jones combination. Looks to have some upside and can return in winning form. MISS DE BLAAS (7) got a well-deserved victory last time out and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Nicely placed to be in the finish again. BEITSOO (9) loves this track and trip with a win and two seconds from just four outings. Gets 2kg weight relief with the claim and rates a genuine top-three conveyance. The well-named GOODES (12) strips fitter second-up and is drawn to get a gun run from gate three. Include in calculations. BAD FOREST (4) got the job done when resuming and will have come on with that run now under the belt. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Six More Songs to bounce back.
