Verdict
SIR BRUCE (3) will be peaking third up after making up some good ground as the favourite when finishing second here nearly 4 weeks ago over 1800m. The extra furlong here will make all the difference, and he is set to go one better. BALLROOM BLITZ (4) is heading the right way with her form and was only a neck from the winner when finishing runner-up here last time out. She has been a winner third up in the past, and can take this out. FULLA GRACE (7) got too far out of her ground last time out when being shuffled back along the fence after drawing in the pole position. Put a line through that effort, and stick with her on her home track. Each-way value. HOT MAMA (8) is racing her way into full fitness, and was a sound third here on a heavy track as the favourite last time out. She is getting out to 2000m for the first time, and is expected to figure in the finish again. Follow your money. INNOCENT VICTIM (2) has been thereabouts all season, and another honest run is on the cards.
