---|---|---|---|---|
A strong gallop is likely with The Great Baby and Katim's Club taking up the running, closely attended by Big Option and Meetmein Melbourne.
AVIATRESS (12) ended her initial campaign with a big run for fourth at Flemington at Stakes level last spring and looked close to that sort of form when winning a recent trial very easily. She was an impressive winner of her first 2 career starts and is very well placed to take this out fresh up. THE GREAT BABY (4) is a very promising gelding who is progressing nicely towards another win. He was beaten by a nose here a fortnight ago and will be hitting his stride third up. With the right run, he can go one better. WALLY WEST (11) had 3 runs last prep earlier in the year and was not too far away in any of them. He had the trial watchers sit up and take notice when winning at a Balaklava trial meeting recently and with the blinkers on for the first time, he is set to give this a shake. MEETMEIN MELBOURNE (5) is a Victorian raider who will be spot-on with her fitness after 3 runs back from a spell. A wide draw is no help but Damian Lane is and the pair merit healthy respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aviatress to win.
