|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo anticipated with Victorythirtythree leading the way. PLENTIFUL (5) just missed over this course and distance last start as favourite, beaten 0.1L after not having much luck on the turn. Getting off the fence slightly may help his chances as he's in good form coming into this. Can go one better this time around. SIGHT HAPPY (4) disappointed last start when never really getting into the race, but he's been freshened and drops back to the 1000m journey today. Zac Purton hops in the saddle now and while he'll be back in the run, he's bound to be finishing off with a wet sail. ALL'S WELL (6) sat last and finished off well in his debut over this course and distance. He'll be better for that run and he showed enough to suggest he'll be winning races at this level. Can put his best foot forward. THUNDER PRINCE (1) may need some luck from the barrier draw but retains Bowman and can be thereabouts.
