Expecting a strong gallop with Shirshov and Acromantula taking up the running over Twin Perfection. FLEETWOOD (3) is the one with some upside that appeals here. He resumes having run just once last time in, fourth in the G3 Warra at Kembla Grange, beaten 1.5 lengths by Headwall which reads very well now. He's got a strong overall profile and has won a trial leading in. Whether 1000m is just on the sharp side remains to be seen but he'll be charging late. SHIRSHOV (6) is racing very well this time in. He tried hard sitting outside the speedy Midwest in the $500,00 country discovery at Echuca last time out. Only needs to hold that form and he'll be in this for a very long way. FASUTO (8) has been good in two runs back, back to 1000m should be fine for him and he can track the hot speed. OAK HILL (4) has a good record and did beat home Shirshov at Echuca from a long way back. Up in the weights this time but gets Shinn up. BIG ME (10) also comes through the Echuca lead up and hit the line well there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fleetwood to win.
