Solid tempo with Exotic Dancer possessing enough dash to find the front. FLOREY (4) is a progressive mare resuming for the Jolly & Potter partnership. Has shown her share of ability and looked sharp in a recent jumpout. The 3kg claimer offsets the big weight and she’s expected to take plenty of stitching. TAKING OMAHA (2) has taken time to hit his straps this prep but found form when beaten a lip three weeks ago at Murray Bridge. At top fitness now and rising to a favoured trip, he looks the main danger. EXOTIC DANCER (10) cops the carpark draw but may have the speed to offset it early. Nearing peak and gets in well with the claimer staying on. Right in the mix. LADY SKYLLA (13) never looked likely first-up at Clare when getting a mile back but made good late inroads. Worth following up. MISS GABBIANO (15) finished full of running last time at Gawler in a much-improved effort. Can cause a scare late if they overdo it in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Florey is the best of the day.
