Plenty of pace with Fantastic Smile and Mr Fortrus up front, pressured by Chicago Dream and We Found Love. WE FOUND LOVE (11) was an overdue maiden winner in her penultimate start before having a spell, and is resuming here with an easy trial win under her belt. She cops a wide gate, but is expected to work her way through the grades this year. Use the market as a guide. MR FORTRUS (1) has been handled patiently and is heading the right way with his form. He will be peaking third up, and his next win is not far away. CHICAGO (3) kicked strongly and led all the way to score here 2 weeks ago to clear his maiden status. He has the pole position and could take some pegging back again. FANTASTIC SMILE (4) won his maiden fresh up at Ellerslie and then had no luck off a wide gate there last time out. He cops another wide draw here, but is worth another chance. VESPHIRE (7) is heading the right way with her form and was only beaten by a short-head here a fortnight ago. Stick with her on an each-way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Fortrus each way.
