Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. Open race. ARRAN BAY (7) can lead and is rock-hard fit. He was only beaten narrowly at listed level last start at Caulfield off a smart win here prior. Takes plenty of catching from the low draw. BRAYDEN STAR (4) finished 7/9 first up in the Echuca Cup but it was a bunched finish. Better for that and will improve second up out to a mile. FORGOT YOU (1) resumes. This is a good trip for him to kick off in and he has the class. Barrier one could be a bit tricky if he's back near last but he's good enough. FRANKIE PINOT (5) has had two runs back from a spell and should be ready to peak now. He'll be back in what is likely a slowly run race. GALERON (6) resumes. His only Aus run was in the Golden Eagle. May have improved and his UK best would go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arran Bay on top.
