Slick pace with Simply Luscious finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. TALK OF DAKOTA (8) has never seen BM58 grade before, so will find this more to her liking than the races she contested last campaign. Rounded out preparations for this with a slick Cranbourne jumpout win on Monday morning. ZOUPER FUND (1) showed sharp improvement between campaigns with a 1000m maiden win first-up and should be better for that, which he'll need to be under 62kg. ANHALT (4) has been well held at his past two, but was a good maiden winner the start prior and has the barrier to be a force here. MYSTERY BLONDE (6) wasn't served well at the barrier draw, landing the second-widest alley, but was beaten just under two lengths in 64 grade last time out. GRINZINGER LOVE (11) is another resuming who boasts a recent trial win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Talk Of Dakota to win.
