Expecting Easy Red to take up the running with Parera and Olympia Fields close at hand. EASY RED (3) has been good in two runs to date, finishing third on each occasion, beaten just a neck last start at Mornington. 1600m here shouldn't pose an issue and Stockdale gets a lovely run up on the speed from barrier two. PARERA (2) presents third up here having made good improvement at Mornington when getting home well for a distant second behind a dominant winner. He can land in a good spot here and go one better. OLYMPIA FIELDS (8) ran a much better race over this route last time out when getting into third at a big quote. She too draws low and can settle handy with winning claims. TEMU TILLY (10) was okay behind a smart winner at Yarra Valley last time and is in the mix ahead of PASIFAE (9) who could improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Easy Red to win.
