Expecting Burnt By Bernie to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. HAY JOE (3) has more upside than most in this and he did not have much luck when resuming at Stawell just over 3 weeks ago. He improves quickly with racing and also drops in class second up. A 3-kilo claim will help and he is the one to beat in this. CAPTAIN JOOLIAN (8) won his maiden on this track fresh up in January and after winning his very next start at Naracoorte he has not been far away in 3 subsequent runs, including his last start at Horsham when finishing third 5 weeks ago. He is capable of figuring in the top-three. MELISSA KATE (9) is a local veteran with a handy record on her home track. She will be peaking her fitness after 3 runs back from a spell and the drop in journey will suit. Include in all multiples. CHILL WITH TEEJAY (1) sure to make her presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hay Joe to win.
