Plenty of speed from Shooter Mcgavin and Gobbo's Mate. BREAK THE TABOO (12) narrowly on top. She's racing consistently, well backed into third two starts ago at Seymour before just battling on very heavy going at Hamilton. Happy to forgive that one, especially given the market support, and she can bounce back quickly. COSMIC CHARGER (10) was okay on resumption at Pakenham Synthetic when working home for a narrow fifth. Expect improvement off that and look for him flashing late. Wary of the lightly raced CALL ME MAURA (11) who won her maiden well at Ballarat Synthetic two back before struggling behind a potential star in town last time. This should suit nicely, she just draws awfully. PACIFIC JEWEL (13) ran well fresh at Mildura in a BM56 and should strip fitter with each-way claims. SHOOTER MCGAVIN (3) is going okay, he switches to turf now which is interesting but he's good enough on his day. SUGGESTED PLAY: Break The Taboo to win.
