Genuine tempo with Bookman leading the way. BREAK THE TABOO (8) resumed here in good order and then disappointed as favourite at Warrnambool. Should be handy in the run and faces an easier assignment with extra fitness. Won her only third-up outing and is ready to find the winners' list. HABITEIN (2) improved last start beaten 2.25L over 1600m at Hamilton. Will cross and ride the speed, and his best figures measure up. Sure to run well. RUSCELLO (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1300m at Penola. Worked home well and is suited stepping up in trip. In the mix. GUARDED OPTIMIST (1) has switched from a Queensland yard on a 32-day return. Drops back from middle distance but is worth a betting watch. FINAL IMPACT (6) has switched from a NSW yard freshened. Is also back but should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Break The Taboo
