Genuine pace with Curcuma finding the front from her low draw. DUB (2) talented gelding who can shed his Maiden status at start seven. Indicated a win was imminent when a narrow second over 1200m at Scone. No excuses today. YASENA (13) model of consistency this prep ready to win on the backup. Collared late when second over 1200m at Scone. Has her share of talent and will appreciate this weaker race. BELLERATA (9) strengthened over the break and will relish the claim from the sticky draw. Ready to peak in a winnable race. INDI SPRINGS (14) encouraging debut when closed quickly for a tidy second over 1100m at Narromine. Has further improvement to come but will need a good ride from the gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dub can salute third-up.
