Solid pace on the cards with Alfa Dundee and Jorum who like to get rolling early. ALFA DUNDEE (3) is chasing three straight victories and has done everything right this prep. The quick backup won't bother him this deep into his campaign, and he maps to enjoy another ideal run in transit. On top for us. DON STEFANO (2) drops down into a suitable race, and with the winkers on, he can improve sharply. A form reversal is on the cards. Each way value. SUNNY DISPOSITION (4) can mix her form, and she is capable of much better than her recent efforts suggest. A 2kg claim will offset her weight rise, and she is worth including in all top 4 combos. NAMARA (5) was an overdue maiden winner on the Gold Coast poly track in early May, and she returns from a short break. Include in all top 4 combos to be safe. TRUSTY BANDIT (9) has been racing consistently and can again feature in the minor placings again.. SUGGESTED PLAY: Don Stefano each way value.
