1. Slate on Edge: Ran it on stronger than expected last start at Moonee Valley but did have every chance. Continues to run well this prep and will be there or there abouts at the end. Key chance and one of two on speed runners.
2. Secret Toy Bizness: Every chance last start at MV but not good enough well beaten by two others. Better suited back to Flemington.
3. Adorabubble: Blowout winner at Doomben off a hot tempo in a very nice type from an on speed position with a low weight. Never won from 6 starts on a wet track.
4. Quicksilver Lass: Not sure what to make of her. Well beaten in a city grade BM-75 first up then out to Gold Coast for a CL4 win. Previous prep in VIC did win at Sandown over 1600m and measured up in lesser class at Flemington. Not the worst here.
5. Totolo: Over-raced last start at MV and was a disappointing run. Equal weight today, hard to have against others here.
6. Clemo: Looked a very good horse last prep but didn’t get to the very top class. Over the 1400-1600m distances proved himself more than capable of beating them in this. One run on Soft was in much higher class and no disgrace 3.3L off Bagman over further. Class runner and good barrier.
7. Waitaha Prophecy: Runs well on wet tracks. Last two runs well beaten in easier class than this. Only fairly weighted.
8. Wilscot: Did a lot wrong last start at Caulfield. Previous form suggests needs to improve to be a winning hope. Could place.
9. Harbour Grey: Lightly raced type beaten in a BM-64 last start. Hard to suggest. Place?
10. Liming: 3L off a win in a country BM-64. Last win R-58. Not for me.
Comments: It’s an interesting race on paper. I think Clemo is the best horse in the race while Slate on Edge will be hard to beat from on speed. You couldn’t talk me into the $3.20 about Harbour Grey, looks well unders.
Confidence 75%
Strategy: Clemo on the Each-Way
