Strong tempo assured with Altrove and Trouve leading the way over Dita Von. SUNDROP (6) consistent mare with a host of gear changes for this. Tried hard on the heavy (8) track when a game second over 1500m at Albury. Only has to hold that form to be winning this. TROUVE (9) deep into his prep and looking for this distance range now after running on late when third over 1300m at Wagga. Has options from the draw and worth thought. LITTLE BASHEBA (3) ran on strongly to salute at big odds last start. Clearly her best effort in some time and has perhaps turned a corner. ALTROVE (4) next elect. Placed last start over 1000m however appeals here of consecutive wins over a similar trip to this late last season. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sundrop to go one better.
