Strong pace from Panelli and Swift Statement matching motors with Lunazor close at hand. MAN OF THE SEA (2) ran a much improved race fresh from a spell, sitting handy and boxing on well to place over a similar journey. Fitter and has upside. Could be value in an even race. TAG TIME (6) was a solid fourth on debut then ran an improved race to place when up to 1300m latest, beaten only half a length. Nice draw and should feature again. ENCHANTED LASS (9) made debut in much richer company in the spring of 2024, finishing fifth at Caulfield Heath and hasn't raced since. Has been in and out of work a couple of times suggesting there has been an issue but returns from a long break on the back of a jump-out win and should be ready to go. SWIFT STATEMENT (5) was placed on debut then fourth in a hot form race at Ballarat behind Bel Mezyaan. Looks close to a win. LUNAZOR (1) is fitter for one run back and expected to improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Man Of The Sea.
