Slick pace with Buffalo River finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. ANOTHER WIL (3) was outstanding fresh, sitting a long way back off a very slow tempo and reeling off some booming late splits to get up. He can settle much closer from the inside draw here and should be winning this en route to a Toorak. BUFFALO RIVER (1) finally gets Celine Gaudray back aboard. She's been the key to rating him in front and he might be an improver. JIMMY THE BEAR (7) was left with far too much to do in the Heatherlie and is in the mix. WISHLOR LASS (10) resumes and has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Another Wil to win.
