Expecting a moderate pace headed by Bull Run and Lakes Entrance. Looks a genuine race in two but leaning to KING'S ANCHOR (4) for the McEvoy yard who presents third up. Two runs back have been good when finishing in the minor money and up to 2100m now looks perfect. Huge chance with natural improvement on his home deck. BULL RUN (2) is the clear danger. He profiles similarly third up looking for more ground being by Sea The Moon for the Waller yard. He can settle closer from a good draw now. Of the others, BAROSSA VALLEY (1) has shown glimpses of ability and was okay into fourth at Donald in the latest. Place hope. LAKES ENTRANCE (5) put in a better effort at Kilmore last time and is in the minor mix off that. LYTTELTON (7) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: King's Anchor to win.
