NAZARE has won two out of his last three and it could be another race for the taking. He should enjoy the distance and has drawn well. DANCING DORA was beaten only 0.40 lengths by the former and is 1kg better off and should make a race of it. MICKE'S BOMB is knocking hard at the door but will need to get the timing right. RED CARPET GIRL gives the impression she could enjoy going a bit further and must have a say on current form. Many have prior engagements and those runs need to be checked.
