Solid tempo with Dashing Basics going forward from the good gate. STAR PREDICTION (1) was rewarded for his consistency when a dominant maiden winner over 1208m at Port Macquarie. Shae Wilkes sticks, and the claim will come in handy again. Goes close. DASHING BASICS (4) comes down from the Gold Coast after progressing well in four career runs. Got out late when a good second over 1100m at Ipswich. Gets a similar set up for this and the extra trip will help his cause. PRIVATE EQUITY (7) rounded them up convincingly at her second run back when scoring over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast. Has upside and sure to be thereabouts. SO YOU CAN TORQUE (6) returns from a lengthy break with a good fresh record. Fitted with the two even trials and look for him late. ALL TOO WILD (9) progressive filly resuming for the Tracey Bartley yard. Will hold a forward position from the draw and her latest trial win had merit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,4,7,6.
