Not a great deal of pace on paper so it may be left to one of the first starters to roll to the front. DREFONNA (6) has not raced since her debut on January 1 over 1000m at Mornington when she showed good tactical speed before fading into fifth. Looks to have come on nicely during the break and strips fitter for three Cranbourne jumpouts. Expect Stackhouse to spear across from the wide alley and give a bold sight. JACK THE JUDGE (4) managed to fill a minor placing at Mornington two starts back before turning in a poor one at Geelong last time. Has been freshened with 38 days in-between and debuts the blinkers. Can bounce back sharply fourth-up. DELAVEGA (1) is a Lucky Vega gelding on debut for the smart juvenile stable of of Price & Kent Jnr. Fitter for recent jumpouts and Bates stays with him. Can measure up at first outing. LA VELOCITA (8) returns. Showed positive signs in her debut prep and is a likely improver in her second campaign. 3kg claimer reunites to get her in at featherweight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Drefonna to win.
