Genuine tempo with Dylan's Lad and Fox Dunnett pressing for the lead. TESTA DEXTA (6) has been racing consistently and was only beaten a length last start when third at Strathalbyn. Strikes the right race and looks hard to hold out. BUBBLE OVER (8) hit the line strongly into second in the same race and continues to race well. A repeat of that run has her right in the mix again. MALLEE GOLD (1) showed grit to break his maiden at Casterton and draws ideally to get the right run. Lightly raced and open to further improvement. DYLAN'S LAD (5) won well two back and ran up to that performance when out to the mile last start at Port Augusta. Back in trip today is ideal and if he gets some luck from the barrier, he'll go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Testa Dexta.
