Don Valentino and Blueridge to battle for the leading role. LITTLE THIEF (1) battled hard when finishing fourth at Omoto 3 days ago. He strips fitter second up, and with some gear changes, and Tina Comignaghi in the saddle this time, he is the one to beat for us. BLUERIDGE (2) was scratched on Sunday to be held back for this. He is likely to go forward early on, and with a 3kg claim, he will be hard to peg back. THE BOSS GIRLS (6) is still a touch weak but is good enough to win a race like this. She is best when saved up for the one run, and with a trip to suit her, she can win this. DON VALENTINO (5) did not go much on debut over 1200m and will step up to 2000m 2 weeks later. The winkers go on, and don't sell him short in this field. MALEVO (3) will be peaking third up, and with an extra 600m to travel this time, he can improve quickly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little Thief is the one to beat.
