DUBAI DANCER (9) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fourth when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track then improved and scored as public elect over 6f at this track a month ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MISS TALLCHIEF (11) lifted strongly to score in a then was prominent in the run last time before finishing ninth over 6f at Ballarat. Rates highly and expected to go well. . And looks close to a win after finishing a close second last time out over 5½f at bendigo. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Will be in this for a long way. FIRST MATE (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 6f at Moonee Valley. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done.
