Opening Address is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. Another race with a handful of chances and not much between them. SEAFALL (6) is coming off a good win at Mornington last start, doing so in solid overall time to score by a length. She was tested over further but a strongly run mile (3 wins from 5 starts at the trip) seems to be her sweet spot. She can go on with it. ZAIN BLUE (5) was making his local debut at Caulfield and ran a solid race in what was a real sprint home. He should be better for that and a faster tempo is likely to help. OTAGO (8) can mix his form a bit, solid last time when giving a fair bit of weight away to the ones ahead of him. There's been further winning form out of that race and he gets the in form Jordan Childs aboard. OAK BEACH (14) stuck on well fresh at Sandown Lakeside and should come on from that, dropping to just 52.5kg after the claim. OPENING ADDRESS (2) did enough fresh at Mornington and will be fitter. SUGGESTED PLAY: Seafall on top.
