Quebeck and Silver Top Ridge can pave the way. CRIPPS (1) comes up from Tasmania in flying form, a winner of his past two. He'd already shown solid ability in Victoria early days and now that he's found a bit of form in some decent races down South, he can go on with it. PAPARAZZO (5) is racing consistently, not far away at Pakenham last time out in a 0-62. Stackhouse sticks which is a good sign and he'll be hard to hold out. QUEBECK (4) resumes. He didn't really fire last time in but the fresh run wasn't bad and he's got the ability to be winning. SMALL TOWN HERO (6) has just found one better at his past couple and looks to get a good run just behind the pace here. Respecting. SILVER TOP RIDGE (7) is racing well this time in and has solid claims up on speed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cripps to win.
