Explain should be able to comfortably find the front. BAUDIN (7) has continued to improve with racing and looks ready to break through over the staying trip. His recent efforts have been full of merit, he maps to enjoy a favourable run and the rise to 2218m looks ideal. On top for us. HE'S ON SONG (3) has been racing consistently without much luck and should appreciate getting out to this distance. With the run in transit, he shapes as the main danger to the top pick. EXPLAIN (8) battled on fairly well for sixth last time out over 2200m at Pakenham Synthetic following a minor placing at Bendigo over 2400m the run prior. He won't lack fitness and is worth including in all combos. GAELIC KIWI (1) has been competitive in similar company and has the fitness edge to play a prominent role. NOTTOLOOK (5) has been building steadily this preparation and looks capable of producing a peak performance over the staying journey. Watch for him late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Baudin can take this out.
