|---|---|---|---|---|

Pace genuine with Free To Play and Filine pressing hard closely followed by Ilovediamonds and Evil Lover. First-starter WATCH CAPITAL (7) is an interesting runner, though. Won a Bendigo jumpout in January and earlier this month looked sharp in comfortable on-pace trial win at Colac and is drawn to advantage in the inside alley. You'd think he'd break the maiden early in his career. EVIL LOVER (11) hasn't drawn quite so well, but is a reliable performer who can expected to be amongst the money. ILOVEDIAMONDS (9) has run well at two starts to date when hard in the market and will be better for those outings. ANTICIPATION (10) did nothing last preparation in NSW but has to be respected in her return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Watch Capital.
