An even contest. BETTERLETMEDANCE (8) peaks for the Vandyke yard and is knocking on the door. Has a wide gate but Orman goes on today helping to offset. At her best this trip and should go close with the blinkers first-time applied. Craig Williams takes over from Orman on WITHIN REASON (7) who placed here first-up. She has more to give and maps for a soft run. In the premier barn and hard to risk. Stablemate BRAVE AGENDA (13) resumes and has switched from a NSW barn. Goes fresh and owns a Deagon trial win. She rates well and is likely to ride the speed. HEYOKA (14) resumes and showed plenty in her brief initial preparation. Has claims if the awkward barrier is managed. ENCUBIERTO (9) was outgraded first-up at Listed level and was an easy Maiden winner his only second-up start. He has upside and the longer sprint suits.
