Good pace from Cuban Waters, Grinzinger Halo and Trantoro who can get across. BOUNCING BEYOND (2) got a long way back first up at Oakbank but picked up strongly late to finish midfield. He improves second up, steps to a favoured trip, and keeps Holder. He looks the one to beat. FALANGHINA (10) missed by a neck here fresh then only warmed late last start. She strips fitter third up and her peaks measure right up. A genuine each-way play. CITY PRO (7) bolted in here two back then was far too bad to be true at Murray Bridge. Happy to forgive and he can add big value to wider exotics. ATTAIN (1) has been knocking on the door with four straight placings. Needs to deliver soon and will need luck from the draw, but he’s in the mix. TRANTORO (13) lived up to market expectations last start at the midweeks. Has the pace to offset the wide alley and keeps Toeroek. Not dismissing. ICE SYMPHONY (3) is another each-way option who can settle closer and run on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bouncing Beyond to win.
