Pace strong with Gasoline Rainbow and Cheers To Us leading with Flying Capital nearby. FLYING CAPITAL (3) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to find the placings at Warrnambool two starts back before finishing fifth over 1212m at Geelong last start. This looks the perfect race for this stage of the preparation. GASOLINE RAINBOW (11) hasn't raced since finishing 4 lengths back in fifth over 1200m at Terang 5.5 months ago but will be fitter for a recent trial win. Great chance to break through. BRAZEN WARRIOR (2) returned from a lengthy spell to be beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1200m at Echuca last time and will be better for that so expect a better run, especially from the low draw. NGONGOTAHA (6) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 2.25 lengths away in third over 1200m at Bairnsdale. Backmarker who gets home hard. Gets his chance to break through. THE DECEMBRIST (17) was tested in a tougher race than this on debut, after which he was put away, and he's trialled up well ahead of the return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Capital to win.
