THE ITALIAN DREAM (8) looks close to a win after placing in two of her last three starts. Turned in a good effort last time out when she came form a wider draw for second at Melton, beaten 3 metres. Proven here and should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane in play. Big chance. PIESRIDINGSHOTGUN (7) wasn't disgraced when fifth from a wider barrier last start at Kilmore. Draws out again but had enough speed to push to the lead when winning at Kilmore the outing prior. Leading hope. SETTLE THE BILL (2) has had a series of second row barriers but is much better served by this draw and drops to a distance where her record reads well. Improver. RASTAMON (9) began badly last start but is good enough to feature with his A-game.
