Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. JAGUAR PAW (9) presents fitter and had excuses beaten 3L on the Sandown-Hillside last time. Was well supported in that and the extra metres will suit. Is ready to win. TIVACI CODE (12) had a tough run at Kilmore on debut and will be better for it. Maps for a soft run today and he's been briefly freshened. John Allen is a key jockey switch. THE BLONDE BOMBER (4) is third-up and the well-bred galloper is worth including on an each-way basis. Has a low gate and the 1.5kg claim is handy. IL PENSEROSO (1) was in the market at Bendigo first-up but disappointed (vet cleared). He'd won a jumpout leading into that and Bates goes aboard today. Will have taken fitness and a much better effort is likely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jaguar Paw appeals most.
