OCTA DE LAGO handed in quick closing sectionals to score third up and after an almost four week break last start at Gosford with Dylan Gibbons aboard for the first time. He should relish this quicker back-up on this more spacious circuit today with Dylan retaining the ride. INOUE must be forgiven for unplaced recent performances at Randwick and then at Rosehill. He will be muck better suited when he returns to Kembla Grange today. DEEP EMOTION surprised the market place here when she tackled this trip here last start. She can maintain her form if she's saved from the Tuesday meeting at Goulburn where she was also an acceptor! CAN'T TOUCH THIS stepped up into this distance range when she wasn't disgraced at Newcastle on the Beaumont track. She's another who will now appreciate a quicker back-up. C'MON MATE didn't finish far away from a next start winner after he struck early problems at Wagga. A return to his home track aids his cause today.
