I Need A Drink should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. CRIMSON VINE (12) was denied narrowly of bringing up the hat-trick last start when caught in the final stride. Not that much tougher this time and gets weight relief. Leading player. A SAMURAI MIND (13) lived right up to market expectations last time out when saluting with a bit up his sleeve. Open to further improvement and is expected to take plenty of stopping from the favourable draw. KARBURAN (3) only got going late last start at Caulfield. Stretching out nicely over the concluding stages to finish fifth. This is easier. Expect him to drift back from the gate and be taking the strongest strides late. Could just blow them away late. HOOPS (11) has been warming to her task nicely in her two resuming efforts but has run out of time. Fitter again and is ready to land the winning blow. I NEED A DRINK (1) is ticking along superbly this time in, finishing in the top two in his last five starts. Goes well over this journey and is sure to be in this for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Small play Crimson Vine. Saving on Karburan.
