Steele My Sunshine is the probable leader in the small field. BAYSIDE (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1600m at this track. Back in trip and drawn for a cosy run off the pace. Overdue and gets his chance. ROYAL DETECTIVE (5) continues to race well with a win two back at Hobart before finishing 2 lengths away in third last time over 1400m at this track. Racing well and is sure to go close. AGNETE (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1350m at Devonport Synthetic, beaten 3 lengths. Aided by the claim and on recent form is expected to go well again. ILOVETHISTOWN (3) has won two of his last five including last start here when lifting strongly. In form and expected to run well again. STEELE MY SUNSHINE (7) was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1100m at Hobart at her latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Bayside.
