Genuine tempo from Fabs Cuz leading Baccarat Rouge. FABS CUZ (2) couldn't have been more impressive shedding the maiden tag at Toowoomba last time out and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that dominant victory. Winning jockey Sandkuhl stays in the stirrups and again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim. Plenty of upside and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. BATTLESPACE (5) strips fitter third-up from the spell and maps perfectly for this from gate two. Looms as the main danger. BACCARAT ROUGE (1) is one from one over this course and distance and will find this easier than the recent effort in town. Can bounce right back. SLUGWORTH (7) has placed two from two around this circuit and is usually around the money. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fabs Cuz to go right on with the job now.
