Solid tempo with Buckleup Buddy to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. FORGETABOUTIT (4) did not recover after making a slow start last time out and had to make do with finishing fourth. He won a similar race to this before that and can secure the run of the race from his handy gate. He is good enough to make amends here. DR VENKMAN (3) had no luck off a wide gate last time out over 1400m, and a drop down to 1100m will do him no harm. He loses nothing with Danielle Hirini in the saddle, and is worth another chance, especially from a superior gate. CHECKTHEMENU (1) won on debut at Swan Hill and will be resuming from a new stable after a short spell. He will find the racing in this area more to his liking, and he can take this out fresh up. Use the market as your best guide. BODMIN BOY (7) recovered from a slow start to race handy here nearly 2 weeks ago and fought on gamely to finish second. He has the pole position this time and is long overdue to break his duck. BUCKLEUP BUDDY (2) was an easy last-start maiden winner. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dr Venkman each-way.
