Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: +8m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Expecting a moderate tempot with a lack of speed horses engaged. THREE MUSKETEERS (1) has gone close in his two runs back and should be peaking now in what looks his easiest assignment to date. Leading player. LUNAR MOJO (4) stuck on gamely into the frame when resuming last start at Albury. Is sure to have come on with the run under his belt as he steps out the added trip. Main danger. THESE BOOTS (2) is a Proisir gelding on debut for the smart training trio of the Hayes brothers. Has shown enough in his lead-up work to suggest he can make a bright start. McDougall steering adds confidence. DITA VON (5) is a likely improver off a sound debut showing at Albury. Deserves more respect this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Three Musketeers gets the nod.
