Cracking tempo with Love Of Air leading the way. STAKE A CLAIM (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing 12th at his latest appearance over 1100m at Wangaratta. Gets back but will wind up late. Leading contender in this seemingly easier race. POPPA'S COURAGE (3) gave a sight latest over 1200m at Ballarat Synthetic but dropped out to finish sixth. Will find this a little easier than last time. Has claims on his best form. TUCKER MCGOO (14) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time, settling out the back and failing to feature when seventh at Wagga. Deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stake A Claim looks the one to beat.
