Slick pace with The Better Husband finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. BOTH SIDES NOW (2) comes here in fine form having won two on the bounce at Warrnambool, far too good under the 60.5kg last time when coming right away to score by 2.75 lengths. She draws beautifully here, she'll land in the first few and take a power of beating again. DESERT ANTHEM (6) is racing very consistently this time in without quite winning, placing in all five. He won't need to improve much to be going one better. CROCODILE (5) hasn't quite gone on with it since a fresh win, contesting some handy 3yo races. He's better than that, Lane goes on and he can bounce back quickly. SOTOMAYOR (7) didn't have the best of luck last time at Caulfield Heath last time but had been in fine form prior and Rawiller is 2/2 on him. CRACK A DEEL (11) did enough fresh at Swan Hill under a big weight. He'll be hard to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Both Sides Now.
