Verdict

BEAU STRADA (6) has had a few chances but is knocking on the door, placing in her past couple when just finding one better at Mornington over 6f this week. Turns around quickly here and back in trip but she should get her chance. RED ROSE CAFE (8) ran a positive race on debut at Pakenham, kept safe in betting on that occasion and battling on well in a bunched finish to be beaten under a length. She should improve off that and will be very hard to run down. MORNING RALPH (4) has been okay his past couple at Werribee & Cranbourne. He finds a nice race here and can be running into the finish late. HE'S FIERCE (3) wasn't all that far away at Seymour last start and won't need to improve much to be figuring in the finish. GATTODANCE (1) resumes. He hasn't shown a whole lot to date but is with a new yard and won a recent jumpout easily, watch the betting.
