Thinking Of Gerty to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. BLUE STRATUM (3) resumes off a trial win. He's shown good ability as a juvenile, tested against some Group class types. Back to a BM64 here, he looks well placed to notch up another win. MR MAGNUS (5) is racing very consistently, beaten under a length in a slowly run race at Pakenham last time out having placed in two runs prior. Drawn to get back but will be hard to hold out. LOVING MANDY (4) has been good all preparation, fourth last time at Sandown Hillside the worst finishing position in five runs. Fresh for this, she maps ideally and should go close. THINKING OF GERTY (8) resumes. She's relatively lightly raced, not far away before a spell. Can give a sight. HIGHLAND SON (2) was just fair fresh but is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blue Stratum to win.
