A race that lacks early pressure on paper. ON THE PROWL (10) made good improvement at his second start beaten 1.8L at Geelong. He maps well today and will appreciate the longer sprint. John Allen goes on and this is a winnable assignment. The best of the competition all have to manage awkward barriers. ANGELOS (13) spikes his figures placing at Ballarat and it was a big effort after settling last from the wide gate. She peaks and should be belting home. SKY DEEL (11) resumes off a try at Stakes level. Has a couple of jumpouts under the saddle and has shown enough to say he's a chance. MYSTIC RAPTURE (6) will likely push forward and is going well enough to fill a slot. TAAJWAR (12) debuts for a smart local stable and will be well prepared. Has the blinkers on and Currie rides. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with On The Prowl.
