Solid tempo anticipated with Blue Cowboy and Blakmax leading the way. CARDI BEE (8) gets the nod. She's in great form, winning dominantly two back on heavy ground at Pakenham, trying hard last start at Sandown Lakeside in an apprentice only race when just edged out. Finds a winnable race here and can prove hard to hold out again. FLOWERDALE (7) had issues when pulling up quickly as favourite two back. The run last time was okay at Sandown lakeside when fifth, not sure where she's quite at but her best would give her a huge chance and this is easier than recent runs. ORNOS (10) has been battling in stronger company of late, not finding much luck last time at Sandown Lakeside. He can be a sharp improve. BLUE COWBOY (4) ran well fresh at Sale for fourth with improvement to come. Not sure what they do from the draw but there's an opportunity to push forward. REALIKA (9) resumes and can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cardi Bee on top.
