Grinzinger Lass to take charge ahead of Sneaky Freddy at a strong tempo. FORGETABOUTIT (1) just missed the bob of the head when finishing second by a nose fresh up in his first local start since arriving from Queensland. He has the winkers on for the first time and with that run under his belt, he is the one to beat in this. SNEAKY FREDDY (2) was fourth fresh up in the same race as the top pick and will continue to improve with racing. Each way claims from a superior draw this time. KING BLING (3) is an ex-Victorian gelding who is expected to make a positive start to his local career fresh up in the small field. GRINZINGER LASS (5) is another ex-Victorian resuming from a 7-week freshen up and she should not have any trouble finding some good form at short notice. BOOM SMASH OPERA (4) strips fitter second up and a 5-horse field means he has a chance to run into the money for the first time in his career. SUGGESTED PLAY: Forgetaboutit to win.
