Good speed anticipated in this field with Farson and Domesticated the most likely to take it up. Looks like being a good test at the 1800m with Parallel World, Elsaray and Electric Charlie handy and Farson and Domesticated pressing on outside them to keep the pressure up. FARSON has won three from four this prep and is going from strength to strength. Dug in hard to score here over the mile before beating a subsequent winner at Moonee Valley last time in good overall time. Well set up a strongly run 1800m now. MISS STRATHALLAN is just second up but her return was very promising for the campaign ahead. Smashed inferior rivals at Pakenham and looks well up to giving a race like this a good shake off that evidence. TRENCHANT hasn't fired in the spring or the start of this campaign but with two runs under his belt and into what should be a suitable race for him he is tipped to improve. Respect Cliff Hanger who has been good in two runs this time in, winning the latest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to stick with Farson for the win off strong recent efforts.
