Nicoffhome to take the lead and control the tempo. Archibald-trained LOTS TO LOVE (5) has been nudged out at Sale at both starts this preparation. Stepped up to 1700m last time, and it was a tough effort. He maps for a soft run, and the middle distance should be right up his alley. Promising, and he should have this field well covered. COWARRIE (1) didn't have the best of it at Bendigo this distance range and then led on a heavy track there and weakened out. Better off here and is on a 5-day return. Peaks and is a quinella hope. Ditto THA MAESTRO (9) who hasn't had the best of it since a 1.8L defeat at Wodonga. Maps better today and has scope for improvement. GRUNNETTAN (3) comes back to the turf on a 7-day backup. Is running out of chances, but won't be far away at best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Lots To Love.
