Without a great deal of early pace evident Jenni Moreese may lead the way over Brindavan.
MR BUSTER (1) came from last on the bend to record a last gasp win when resuming over 1600m here last start. That was his first win when fresh from seven attempts which suggests he is back better than ever. The winner of two from two here and he is well placed to add to that record. BRINDAVAN (2) led for the judge but was unable to go on with the job and finished fourth last time out in open company over 2000m at Doomben. Form prior to that in Benchmark races was rock solid. In the right race to bounce back to form. JENNI MOREESE (6) chalked up the hat trick when she easily accounted for a BM78 field over this course and distance four weeks ago. In the money at six of seven here at the trip. Sure to give a good account again. MAKE A CALL (4) is up in grade but drops a huge 7kgs on his eye-catching second here at this journey last time. Consistent and worth some thought. ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (5) impressed when he won here a fortnight ago. Each-way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Buster to win again.
