Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Colleano. ARRABBIATA (3) just missed this trip at Tamworth and keeps improving. She will present at peak fitness and can go one better. COLLEANO (1) is a leader who missed a whisker in a CL1 at Doomben, stepping up to this distance. He can skip over and control the race and is sure to take passing. BEAUER (5) ran the same number placing here first-up in a CL3. Fitter now and she's won over a mile. Maps better and is on a quick return. SHINE LIKE IT DOES (7) races forward and deserved her comfortable Maiden win at Moruya. She gets in well with the 3kg claim and will be fitter again. Goulburn-trained and is a chance to go on. THINK ROMANCE (6) resumed over 1500m at Hawkesbury, beaten 2.3L. Jumps from the inside gate and has more to give. Morgan's booking is a decent push for her chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Arrabbiata.
