Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

Schwarz has come up early favourite. Tough draw to overcome but has the talent. RayMegnerio is knocking on the door for a win and finds the right race to go close. Spacewalk can lead or settle off them and has the turn of foot to take this out. StarPatrol likes racing here and is better for the return run while CharmStone has plenty of class and will be strips fitter for its lengthy return back.

1. Star Patrol (7)

Loves this track with three wins from six goes. Strips fitter for the return and can take this out.

2. Maharba (2)

Likeable off a decent break but the runner up of the race hasn’t franked the form. Respect the market.

3. Spacewalk (14)

Has the turn of foot for this and 1/1 over track and trip. Needs room to move and big chance if things fall into place from the draw.

4. Johnny Rocker (11)

His best is good enough but hasn’t shown that this prep. Monitor any market moves.

5. It’sourtime (8)

Can’t have.

6. Schwarz (10)

Went to the paddock on a high and proven with J-Mac aboard and fresh. Tricky race but deserving of favouritism.

7. Rocketing By (12)

Can’t have.

8. Press Down (3)

Consistent winner who is well travelled and can press forward and win. Big hope.

9. Who Dares (6)

Can’t have.

10. Crosshaven (1)

Prefer others.

11. Rey Magnerio (4)

No luck last start and it was a solid placing behind a smart one. Just has to hold its form to take beating and drawn a peach in barrier 4.

12. Charm Stone (5)

Dusted off the cobwebs fresh and is up to these. Maps well from the draw. This race suits.

13. Jungle Jim (9)

Can’t have.

14. Marble Nine (13)

Prefer others.
