Strong early tempo with Delivering and Grand Omaha leading the way. GRAND OMAHA (8) resumed with an encouraging run at Pakenham in a Class 1, showing speed to lead there over 1400m and sticking on well for third, beaten a long neck. She'll strip much fitter for that and has the upside to be accounting for these. ALL BUSINESS (5) can mix her form a bit but will find this easier than her past couple behind some handy mares. She'll give them a start but is good enough to finish over the top. VIANARRA (7) is going well, just finding a handy one in Loud Charlie (entered in R1) too strong here last time. He maps for every chance and has claims. CROWN CRUSHER (6) doesn't win out of turn but has gone okay his past couple and can be running on late. ROCK THEM JOOLS (3) was poor last time at Pakenham but can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grand Omaha to win.
