Expecting a strong gallop with Full Of Knowledge and Weasel Sea taking up the running over Heidi Dancer. WEASEL SEA (6) goes on top. He was well backed on debut at Ararat to start $2.50 and ran well, sticking on for a narrow third over 1100m. He should only be better for that and back to 1000m looks no knock with Stackhouse booked. REGINA DEI RE (8) resumes having run fourth at her only run last campaign. She did start $1.95 there and has the ability to be taking this out. HEIDI DANCER (10) has shown talent in three runs to date, just finding one better over this route last time out. She won't need to improve much to be breaking through. SOVIET STRIKE (5) resumes. He can be an improver this time around, watch the betting. DESERT FALCON (9) was tested in good company last time and this suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Weasel Sea to win.
