Gaslight Dancer and Precocious should set a strong gallop. PRECOCIOUS (1) is a promising type who had her first start here last time and was far too quick. Has won the last two by a space and can make it three straight. BOSUM BUDDY (2) finished 2.75 lengths behind the winner in third over 1000m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. On speed runner, well placed and sure to prove tough to beat. MAVERICK QUEEN (6) safely held last start when beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 1200m at this track. Can bounce back. MYSTICAL MISS (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Greyville All Weather, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
