Not expecting them to go too hard with a lack of pace evident. VALIEVA (11) ran on well to finish third fresh up on this track just over a fortnight ago, finishing 4 lengths behind the winner that day. She strips fitter and in a field without much depth, she is the one to beat. MORRIS MINOR (4) has been running on late in both of his starts this prep and cops an improved draw third up. He has the blinkers on for the first time which will keep him focused early on and he is ready to put his best hoof forward in this. WE'VE GOTTA DEEL (7) was back in form with a second-place finish at Bordertown 11 days ago. He was an easy trial winner before that and his first win is not far away. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Valieva to win.
