Moderate tempo with Doubt I'm Rich leading the way. SILKY SETH (9) was specked at double-figure odds on debut and ran up to that support with a good second placing. With the benefit of that experience, an extra 100m and a lovely draw he deserves to be considered the testing material. BRUTAL COMMAND (5) has also only had the one start, a fifth at Geelong over 1140m, when not beaten that far. He'll relish the extra trip but just has a terrible alley to overcome. ANTALIAN (11) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Kyneton over 1454m. Becoming costly but racing too consistently to dismiss. HATALOOK (13) came home soundly to finish fourth when resuming over 1170m at Wangaratta last time out. Takes on a tougher assignment this time but she is right in this. BLUE LIGHT DISCO (1) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at Pakenham over 1200m, beaten 2.5 lengths. Capable of sharp improvement with any luck from the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silky Seth to win.
