Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. MUSKITO (7) debuts for a top metro barn and has looked talented in a string of jumpouts. Maps well and Yendall rides. A bold run is on the cards. PAFITIS (8) looked a run short improving as favourite at Cranbourne and he has more to give. Was tried at Group level before the spell so the premier barn must have an opinion. Stablemate CUTTIN' CLASS (4) spiked his numbers placing at Geelong and hits this at peak fitness. Has the inside gate and he is well placed with the 4kg claim. PICK WISELY (3) displayed decent ability last prep and has to be included in his return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Muskito if the betting suggests stable confidence.
