Pace solid from Ballon D'or going forward from an outside draw along with Zetalyn. AMPING LASS (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths in second over 1000m at Sandown-Lakeside. Beautifully placed and will keep improving for a leading yard. Has an awkward gate but keeps Nolen and with average luck will be tough to beat. THINKING OF GERTY (4) led and just missed in a 66 over 1000m at Donald first-up. She's back on track and has strong metro form in the CV. Goes well second-up and Currie can manage the sticky gate. THAT'SMONEYBROTHER (5) showed plenty in her maiden campaign and looked a run short when just beaten first-up at Yarra Valley as a $3.2F. Has been freshened and has won a jumpout since. The gate is against, but he won his Maiden here second-up and quick improvement is on the cards. DOCUMENTARY (3) has also jumped out since a solid resumption in a 70 at Echuca. Has the inside gate and has also won second-up. His best form would see him very competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Amping Lass.
