---|---|---|---|---|
Enough on-pacers engaged to suggest the large field will run along okay. Heathcote-trained FLYWHEEL (4) has been racing in stronger Maidens and drops back to a sprint following a 46-day freshen. He's been kept up to the mark with a sharp Doomben trial and a top metro hoop sticks from that. Draws the paint and is suited. WESTOAK (6) placed at Doomben over shorter first-up and hasn't run out the longer sprints the two since. They have been in better city company. Finds slightly shorter and with Thornton reunited is worth another chance. JENNI MOREESE (8) resumes and has switched from a leading Victorian barn. She was backed off the map on debut and a post-race vet check revealed a slow recovery. Has a handy gate and needs to be kept safe. ALL WIN (3) placed second by a nose last start at this track and should race on the speed. Can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flywheel appeals most.
