|---|---|---|---|---|

Bodacious Kate has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. DUA DANCE (3) is a lightly tried 5YO mare who is resuming for the first time from the powerful Walker/Bergerson stable. She has had a couple of trials to get ready, and from a good gate, she should be ready to run a big race. Use any market confidence as a guide. ADMIRAL VOS (8) had one start as a juvenile before being put aside to mature. He resumes in a 5-horse field, and his recent trial placing will have him ready to run a big race fresh up. TURN IT UP (4) raced too keenly fresh up, and she will be a lot sharper for this assignment. She maps to enjoy a soft run early on, and is a top 3 chance in the small field. RISING WIND (1) is fresh up and will be fighting out the minor placings, with a 4kg claim being an assist. BODACIOUS KATE (2) has been helped by a bunch of scratchings, and if her mind is on the job, then she is capable enough on her day of figuring in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dua Dance each way.
