Shirshov and Poifect can be prominent. Tough finish. MYTEMPTATION (1) was reported to have struggled on the shifty Moonee Valley track last week as a $2.30 chance, his first loss to date. Backs up quickly but if he's come through that run fine, he should take beating. WALLENDA (8) is racing well, a tidy winner at Randwick Kensington last time out in this grade. Only needs to hold that level to be fighting out the finish again. WOLFY (9) was good behind Mytemptation here last time to continue his strong form. Barrier one perhaps isn't ideal. PRINZERRO (14) also brings Mytemptation form to this and should get a nice run down the outside. SHIRSHOV (5) is a Moonee Valley specialist but could give a sight if left alone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mytemptation to win.
