Stoker: Out the back last start and never a chance with the ride given. Was just a forgive run 100%. D Oliver onboard today, expect to see him ridden closer to the speed today. Rates well back into a firm track.
Demonstrate: Won quite well last start at MV. Backs up the Jalan Jalan form with the win. Weighted well enough.
Ragazzo Del Corsa: Interesting type. Ran very well as a 2YO with a Flemington straight win. Has ability.
Equinova: Every chance last start at MV but won previously over Red Alto on heavy… needs it wetter?
Top Me Up: Thought he ran well enough all things considered because last start at MV the track wasn’t suiting on pace runners. Needs to improve today on that run back to firmer ground and back to Caulfield should help.
Braccenby: Failed to place last prep even though well backed into favourite at last start. Obviously has ability but has to prove it today.
Gold Sympony: 3L 2nd to Jalan Jalan last start. This form rates well around Demonstrate obviously.
Star Planet: Just beaten 2nd to Demonstrate last start. Obviously has ability to go one better today.
Royalic: 2 runs to date for a long 10th and 8th. No thanks.
Assertive Star: Alot went wrong first prep only run. Was long odds that day either way.
Comments: Stoker on exposed form is still by far the best horse in this race. Just ignore last start and you are able to back with confidence again today in this small field. Expect the speed to be on.
Confidence 70%
Strategy: Stoker E/W
