ILLICIT DREAMS (2) set the pace at Cromwell just over 5 weeks ago and battled on gamely to finish third as the favourite. She drops 4kg from that run after a claim, and around this track, she should take all sorts of pegging back. SAY SATONO (3) has raced her way back into form and followed up her Cromwell win with a sound third at Kurow 8 days ago. Stick with her, especially with Tina Comignaghi taking over the reins. CHARM MANHATTAN (8) has won his only start on this track, and he steps up in trip. He will make it interesting early on, as he usually likes to lead in his races. 1400m is a query, but with a senior hoop replacing an apprentice this time, he could be rated to win. LA BELLA NERA (4) has won here over the trip and is much better than her last run suggests. She can settle just behind what will be a hot pace, and she can have the last say. Each-way value. DIMAGGIO (7) caught the eye with a big late finish at Kurow 8 days ago. He has a better gate this time, so go again.
