In the absence of noted leaders, She Flys and Pentegra may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. VIXENETTE (4) is a progressive type resuming. Was a fresh-up winner this trip when last resuming and also won only other try course and distance. Expected to go close. ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (2) is long overdue with a string of placings recently. Just missed here last time and will be running on hard again. SHE FLYS (9) was safely held fresh but strips fitter and has a good record when second-up. Expecting a far better effort. DISMOUNT (6) was expected to do more last start when midfield at Echuca, beaten 6 lengths. Looks well paced here and on the run here two back is right in this. BUBBLES TIME (8) has drawn wide last couple and got too far back latest. Has a nice gate and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Vixenette fresh.
