Solid tempo headed by Our Emmbar and Statesmanship. HIDE YOUR ASSETS (9) got the maiden win out of the way earlier this campaign and while never a factor at the next start on the Ballarat syntho, there was enough merit in the last-start run in Adelaide to suggest she's up to this much more suitable contest. HIDDEN COMFORT (11) was dreadful start but that was her first look at Heavy ground, so maybe that was the reason. You've got to give her another chance because the previous two runs were good. CAPITAL WIN (8) is up from maiden grade, but the jumpouts leading into the first-up win were good and maybe she's come back a better horse. FLYCATCHER (1) is on the back-up after Seymour last Friday but this is a much easier assignment and he'll be fitter here. LUMPYS HIGHWAY (2) didn't do a lot towards the end of last prep but has jumped out well ahead of this and it's worth noting the maiden win did come on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hide Your Assets each way.
