Tactical given the lack of speed. MISS DIVIDEND (10) is a filly by I Am Invincible who was an expensive purchase for the Sutton yard. She's jumped out well and can figure on debut. SATURN SKY (6) is a Portland Sky gelding for the Laurie yard who has trialled well and has claims in his first appearance. DIMACHAERUS (1) returns from a spell. Placed in a recent jump-out. Opened last campaign with an eighth at Echuca over 1200m. Can contest for a place. FIVE KNIGHTS (9) comes here after finishing sixth last time at this track and distance. Fitter and can run a bold race. MY BOY ARNIE (5) returns from a spell. Winner of a recent Bendigo jump-out. Raced just once to date and finished 14th at this track over 1100m. Watch for any market confidence. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,6,1.
