Expecting Karburan to take up the running with Jenni The Tank and Jealous close at hand. KARBURAN (1) just gets the nod. He's struggling to break through but the same could be said for most of these, having tried hard at Cranbourne last time out over 2580m when just edged out late. He'll have no issue running out a strong 3040m and his ability to take up the running is a big advantage. GENRICHERO (3) is the danger. He found a very slowly run race at Caulfield last time but worked home well with the light weight. This is easier and he gives the indication the trip will be no issue. JEALOUS (5) is another struggling to win but racing well, on the quick turnaround from Saturday at Pakenham when working home well for third. This suits. NATURAL RULER (2) is lightly raced and should stay well. He was just ahead of Karburan when they met recently which has him firmly in the mix. WHISKY MOON (6) is lightly raced and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Karburan to win.
