SELECTIONS: DANCE AFFAIR (4), LILLY LOTUS (5), IDEAL BANDIT (1), BIZZNESS CLASS (7)

OVERVIEW: DANCE AFFAIR (4) makes his return to the races here and I fancy he might be able to work to the lead and prove hard to catch. He hasn’t drawn the front row for a number of runs, but when he last did, he was able to spear forward and find the top. I liked his latest trial when he led and was only beaten 4.3m into second by Hoorah Philtra, who we saw win super impressively at Melton last weekend. He’s got some form around some nice horses from last preparation, and he might come up a decent price here in another wide-open event. LILLY LOTUS (5) ran a great second to Intrusion on her return last time out and she looks capable of winning a race like this, IDEAL BANDIT (1) rounded up a weaker field to prevail easily at Shepparton last time and has the gate speed to race prominently here, while BIZZNESS CLASS (7) was a big winner in a good race at Mildura last start and is flying, but has a horror draw.

BACK: DANCE AFFAIR (4) – 1 unit (each-way)
