From wide out Manhood and Torabella can set up a strong tempo. The well-related TORABELLA (6) (half to 5xG1 winner Shoot Out) is back at the races here but the form she showed before the spell was good enough to feature in a race like this. Has an impressive strikerate winning seven of 11 overall and gets the benefit of Lang's 1.5kg claim. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected while fresh. MANHOOD (4) has a handy record over this track and trip with three wins and three placings from eight attempts. Strips fitter third-up and can play a role in the finish. MINTAKA LAD (21) is usually around the money and is a must for the multiples. BLAKMAX (12) next best with the Gollan/Maloney combination from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Torabella to return a winner.
