Expecting a genuine tempo with Tanana setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by Nicking Gracie. ALPINOVA (11) has been mixing her form, and has also not won for some time, but she meets the right sort of field here, and returning to her pet trip, can bring about a better effort in this. On top for us. ELLY DEE (7) is a durable veteran mare who raced her way into form with a solid effort for third at Geelong last time out. She has a superior draw this time, and will only improve again with more racing. Stick with her. TANANA (9) will be peaking at the right time for this, and he last couple of starts at Moe have been solid enough on heavy tracks. A firmer surface would help her, and she can take this out. PUNIC WAR (3) is getting fitter with each run back from a spell, and he is nicely placed to figure in the top 4 here, in what looks like a very even contest. MONT SAINT MICHEL (2) has winning form here over the distance, and he drops down in class from his last start for seventh at Mornington 16 days ago. Can win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tanana each way.
