Genuine tempo with the speedy Croatian Art leading the way. Leaning to MRS IGLESIA (12) who presents third up. She tried hard last start at Cranbourne over 955m behind Gentle Steel, who has since won in good company on Saturday. She should be peaking now and is good enough to take this out. JENNYANYDOTS (2) wasn't far away here last start in a competitive race having placed first up. Back to 1000m suits and she'll be flashing late. RHIA (6) is off a let-up here having battled home at Caulfield when last seen. She'd won two on the bounce prior and can improve into this. TIZ WORTHY (7) dashed best in a slowly run race at Pakenham last time to score as favourite. She'll drift back but can certainly win again if the race shape works out. DON'T RUSSIA (8) is racing consistently and has each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mrs Iglesia to win.
