Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Colombiano. RENTESSIS (1) is a promising four-year-old who started favourite when fresh from a spell last start over 1300m at Bendigo bit just came up short after working home well. Nicely placed over an extra 100m and with a cosy run assured from an inside gate he looks a great chance to make it two wins from just three starts. COLOMBIANO (8) took control a fair way out and kept going for a soft maiden win over 1175m at Albury last time out. Yet to prove herself over this trip but she is going a lot better this campaign and should run it out.  SHOWRATA (10) disappointed last start but was an excellent third over this distance at Wagga two back. In the mix if he brings his right form. THEO FIVE (11) returned in good order at Wodonga last time and will appreciate an extra furlong today. HELLBERG (2) seems to prefer this way of going so expect a better run today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Rentessis.
