A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. LEI (8) returned impressively two back at Echuca and consequently started favourite over 1300m at Wangaratta last start but found a couple better. Blinkers go on today which could be the key. Comes up on the fourth line of betting but the figures suggest she is going as well if not better than these. OYSTER LANE (6) registered his seventh minor placing from 11 runs when beaten under a length at a short quote over this trip at Horsham ten days ago. Becoming very costly for punters. Maher tinkers with the gear so he should be given another chance. THANKFUL SMILE (11) returned from a five-month spell and was only lining up for the second time when a closing fourth over 1100m at Pakenham recently. Will enjoy getting out over a bit more ground. Wide gate the only knock. VARADERO (7) has performed well at his two runs to date. Races beyond 1125m for the first time which will suit. OVERPRICED (5) was beaten a long way into third on debut at Moe 17 days ago. Open to plenty of improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lei to break through.
