Strong pace with Galagacisco and Mysterious Master crossing from wide out. PETROULA (10) resumes with a good run at Albury over 1175m when just finding one better. She's had a few chances but looks to have come back well and maps beautifully. Rates the one to beat. GALAGACISCO (4) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to break through, albeit only beaten a length last time out here. Can roll forward and take getting past. MEDIA BRIEF (9) returned last time with a solid second at Gundagai over 1180m. Bit tougher here but will be fitter and can figure despite a tough gate. MYSTERIOUS MASTER (13) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start over 1100m at Mildura, beaten 5 lengths. Rock hard fit on the quick backup and should give a sight. MY ALPHA SONIC (17) is third up and going well enough to challenge. SUGGESTED PLAY: Petroula to win.
