Genuine tempo from Of The View leading Easton You Beauty. Looks a good race for OF THE VIEW (14) who has been runner-up at both starts to date. Gets the longer trip now and has good upside. Pay to follow up. AHAB (1) is coming off a forgivable run over further. Jockey reported he jumped some shadows in the run and lost his rhythm when midfield over 2000m at Ballarat. Has since jumped out well and is worth another chance. Best figures stack up. WEATHER DELAY (9) returned from a long break with a midfield finish over 1400m and will relish the extra ground. Fitter and can feature. PIXEL PRINCESS (11) was well off best last time when led and faded. Freshened since and has a trickier gate this time but can feature if she finds best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow in Of The View.
