Mangione should be able to comfortably find the front. INITIAL MOMENT (7) is fitter for two runs back and looks ready to win. Solid fresh then ran an eye-catching second last time over 2000m. This suits and gets her chance to break through. HERE COMES RUBY (6) has been racing in far richer company, the latest when sixth at Cranbourne over 2060m. At her top now and back in grade. Go close. TRIORA (4) ran last fresh then finished ninth last time but the form is far better than it looks. Was tested in city class last time in and won maiden over 2600m. Extra trip is a plus, fitter again and will relish this company. One of the few with upside and won't get a better chance to find some form. STAY IN YOUR LANE (11) has been freshened since a disappointing run last time. Better than that and can sneak into the finish. SIDE PIECE (2) is well placed in this line-up and worth following up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Initial Moment gets chance.
