SELECTIONS: VINEY (8), PLAINS IN HEAVEN (7), CURYO GENTLEMAN (3), FRUGAL FARE (4)
OVERVIEW: VINEY (8) is awkwardly drawn but he continues to build on his strong record and appears to be the horse to beat again. He pushed forward to race without cover and kicked on strongly for a big win at Melton last outing. PLAINS IN HEAVEN (7) will need luck from the wide draw but he is nearing a win against this class. He was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off fast for second behind Cigano two starts ago then attempted to sustain a long run when fourth behind Thestatesman last outing. CURYO GENTLEMAN (3) appeared to have every chance after setting the speed last outing but his form prior was strong so he is worth another chance. JOELITA (1) returns to Victoria after a stint in New South Wales and South Australia. She is a speedy mare and has claims along with FRUGAL FARE (4) and EARL OF PEMBROKE (5).
EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 1,4
RATINGS: 8/ 7/ 3,4,5/ 1/ 9
