Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 9m 850m - WP, Out 7m Remainder. (Pent: 5.40)  

Nicoffhome and Discobay to battle for the leading role. DHARAM SHALAA (7) hadn't been enjoying the best of luck before positioning handier when beaten 1L over 2400m at Hanging Rock. Rolls up here on a 6-day return and is a decent chance to go one better. TORBELO (5) really dug deep to get the prize by 2 lengths three runs back at Nhill over 2100m before being beaten a whisker at his last two starts. Has been mixing trips but expect him to run it out and make the finish. DISCOBAY (9) disappointed at Mornington but his form prior stacks up. May be the one to control the race and Meech will give her every chance. CUBAN DAWN (1) won three back and has threatened the two since. Has claims with average luck from the wide gate. ALBANIAN BEAUTY (3) has had one blip in a string of solid efforts. Maps well and John Allen goes on in a key switch. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Dharam Shalaa.
