Good early pressure anticipated with a large contingent of first starters. TREVIDI (15) returns for the Stokes camp and looks to have come on a treat during the break, stripping fitter for a sharp recent trial win. Opperman sticks from his lead-up work and draws well. Bold showing anticipated. TOUR DE MOON (3) was a flashing light on debut, only missing by a head at Balaklava. Is sure to have come on from that and gets a key jockey switch in Toeroek. Can go one better. NOW EAST (2) resumes. Showed plenty of promise in his second prep without breaking through. Trialled well behind Trevidi in readiness, though will need a smart steer from the car park draw. BRAVE FORTUNE (5) is a Hanseatic gelding on debut for the Clarken team. Has come along nicely in his lead-up work but is another that has a wide alley to contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Trevidi to win.
