Plenty of pressure primarily from Flying Done, Humble Trader and Our Chief. All eyes will be on ultra impressive last start winner CONCORD CONNIE (7) who backed up a big maiden win at Pakenham with a huge victory over this track and distance, settling back and rounding them up to race away and score by six lengths. She did it in the style of a Group horse and the clock backed it up all the way. Deep, deep into the red since markets opened is getting prohibitive but she should be winning again. Outside her, FLYING DONE (1) does look a good bit of each-way value first up. He made great strides last campaign winning three on the bounce and maps nicely up on speed. Has to give away weight but he should give you a sight at big odds. THE VOLTA (9) tried hard in the Bendigo Guineas second up behind a good one in Gold Coast Belle and that form should hold up nicely. SULEK (5) beat The Volta home there at a big price and has each-way claims. OUR CHIEF (4) perhaps next best first up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Concord Connie - Flying Done exacta.
