TOP MAVERICK (7) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second over 6f at Mornington. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. DASHER (3) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Seymour. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. QUICK SPELL (5) finished third last start over 6f at Seymour, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. LEAVING LAS VEGAS (4) did his best work late and finished second last time over 6f at Morphettville, beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
