Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Sheezahiflya. TUFF OPERATOR (9) has found the maiden win elusive but it hasn't been without trying. Is yet to miss the frame at this venue and only needs to hold his form to be fighting out the finish. SEVEN SHOTS (5) has found the line nicely in his last two starts without threatening the winner. On the short turnaround and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. Expect to see him doing his best work late. SHADOWIST (6) stuck on gamely into fourth when resuming at Clare last time out. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt but will need some luck from the tricky draw. TOORAK BLAZE (8) looked to be nearing a breakthrough win but struggled at the latest. Capable of a better effort this time and is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going Tuff Operator to win.
