OVERVIEW: THE PASO DOBLE (7) broke through for a terrific and deserved maiden victory last time out, showing his customary early gate speed and putting a space on his rivals. Even though he’s drawn wide, his gate manners can negate that, allowing him to look for a forward position and take running down again. MISS KOMMUNICATION (5) is also quick out and will look to slide across. Her past few when racing in slightly harder grade haven’t been flash, but she looks better suited against this opposition. JINXED (3) is a 3yo filly having her first start and she has trialled okay leading into this, although the times haven’t been overly flash. Monitor the betting and keep her safe. CARTACALHA (8) had every hope last time out but was sound to the line in finishing second at Ballarat. She’s yet to win in eight tries as a 3yo, however. FREEMARKS ELITE (2) was okay on debut but was still a fair way off the top pick, while DANCE WITH ROCKY (4) needs to improve, but respect the stable.
