Genuine tempo from Anglesea leading Rock Glory. Plenty of win chances but hard to go past ONAVUITTON (4). Close-up sixth on debut at Sandown then placed in the Group 2 VRC Sires at Flemington before a good spell. Returns a gelding and jumping out well. Would have to go close on anything like the last figure. SWEETEST MEMORIES (8) raced just once last campaign and also showed ability. Hit the line hard and was edged out in a photo before almost 11 months off. Looks hard to hold out if on song. TOPMOST (2) resumed from a five-month break with an eye-catching run and is overdue for a win. Fitter again and expected to feature. GREAT FUEGO (6) has raced four times to date and both runs on top of the ground have been strong. Looks a leading player on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Onavuitton.
