Midivani, O'reg and Wagunda will be ridden positively out of their low gates so the pace will be genuine. SHAL EXCEED (2) won't know himself here in BM52 grade. Outclassed last start at the Warrnambool Carnival, on a Heavy track, and far from disgraced in the Deniliquin Cup the start prior. Draws well here and looks a major player. ALBANIAN STAR (5), conversely, has drawn horribly and is coming off a poor run but goes close on a repeat of any of the previous three performances. JAYZEAL (4) also has a tricky draw but is consistent. O'REG (1) has been a frustration for connections with a heap of recent second placings and should again be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shal Exceed to win.
