DARE I SAY (20) is a 16-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 6¾f at this track after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CASSETTE (17) has been in the betting recently but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fifth over 7¾f at Murwillumbah, beaten 5 lengths. Must respect recent market confidence so give her another chance. LIPAROTA (11) finished third last time out over 6¾f at this track, making it two career minor placings. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this circuit. Will be thereabouts. STRIKE THE HEART (5) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 7f at Sunshine Coast. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
