Slick tempo Looks likely with from Alesha Lily and Golden Day leading the charge. VELENTINO (6) is lining up for his first run in a new yard. Is a previous Casterton winner over this short trip and can make a bold bid fresh. He goes on top and happy to play. DIAMATTI (3) was a Swan Hill winner in March and recent form has been solid, including last start effort at Kyneton. Looks nicely off here and won't be far away. SMART ALICK (15) registered his sixth career win with a solid effort at Mildura last time. This is not overly strong and a forward showing is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Velentino to win.
