DANCE GAVIN DANCE (1) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 1. 75 lengths, last time over 5f199yards at Grafton. Backmarker who gets home hard. Rates highly on debut effort and should go well. SHOWN THE DOOR (6) was 7 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at Gold Coast last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Should park just off the speed. Rates highly on debut effort and should go well. XTRAVAGANT GIFT (8) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 5½f at Toowoomba. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. BETTY BOOM (3) finished third last time over 4f65yards at Gatton when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1. 4 lengths. This is a suitable assignment and can get the job done.
