Strong tempo with Octahedron, Golden Garden and Sandpiper leading the way. FLOOD AND FIRE (4) peaks off a 2.6L defeat at Bendigo over 2200m. He's been kept up to the mark with a positive hurdle trial over 2400m, and he has the ability and fitness to take this out. SANDPIPER (10) led and was narrowly beaten at Kilmore over 2000m. Will likely take a sit over the longer journey and should be in the finish. EYES TO ME (9) stepped up to this trip here last time and didn't give a yelp. He's better than that and gets another chance. A BLUE STAR (12) spikes his figures beaten a nose at Casterton over 2000m. Races handy, and he's in the mix. GOLDEN GARDEN (5) is a jumper who will be fitter. Gets Linda and will run it right out. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Flood And Fire.
