A race that lacks early pressure. DANZSIN (3) resumes for his second campaign having shown ability in four runs last time in, winning his maiden dominantly on wet ground two back, having had enough as favourite before a break. Have to respect the Meech/Dabernig combination. VILLE DE LUMIERE (11) came from well back last time to just miss over 1206m at Terang, beaten a nose in second having also just missed fresh. She'll be at peak fitness and hard to beat this time. JACKIE'S MAID (8) has been good in two runs back, winning easily fresh, close up this grade at Cranbourne last start. Rates well. DARTS DALY (1) was much better last time at Warrnambool and has claims off that while VADERLEE (5) has claims on his best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Danzsin to win.
