Even tempo with Golden Mask probably taking it up from a low draw in the absence of a genuine leader. CATCH THE MOON (3) has a wide gate and was unplaced over 1600m at Bendigo on debut and then improved to finish second over 1850m at Terang, beaten half a length. Maps well and will continue to improve for the premier stable. Looks a top prospect to break through. SHINDY (9) is the threat. Brings two narrow defeats from Pakenham, and she had to do it tough stepping up to this trip last time. Should park just off the speed and get every chance. LUXOR GOLD (5), who hit the line well to finish third over 1732m at Sale. Hit this at peak, and the step-up in trip is sure to suit. Each-way claims. PRONOUNCED (6) resumed in the same race, and it was a solid effort. Draws awkwardly but will be around the mark with the extra fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Catch The Moon.
