METEOR STORM and HITCH 'EM UP look two capable of leading this field. FASTCAR is a former SA galloper who can find his best here following two placed runs this campaign. He has a strong 3U record and finds easier today. LADY SIOUX will cross to the speed and comes off a win this grade/venue as favourite. Is sure to go close again. PINYARDA was just beaten by the above FU sitting handy and the former Victorian can go on with it now. SUIT and HITCH 'EM UP are others to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing FASTCAR to win.
