Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Porter. Singapore import STREET OF DREAMS (2) returned from a long break with a respectable midfield finish down the Flemington straight last time out. Twice placed at Group 3 level in his previous life. In good hands so don't let him under the guard. LE FERRARI (6) gave up an early lead then battled on well for fourth in the Bairnsdale Cup over a mile recently. Boasts an outstanding 1400m record so from a perfect gate he is worth a dabble at big odds. MODOWN (1) did enough first-up in the Echuca Cup to suggest he is in for another good campaign. PORTER (16) is stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he scored over 1400m at Morphettville Parks on March 1. Can give this shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Street Of Dreams each-way.
