Pace a scorcher, headed by Marilyn's Edge, Lim's Teide and Lujaego, closely followed by Not Surprised and Eternal Darkness. THAT'SMONEYBROTHER (8) resumes and looks well placed. He had three runs last time in, just finding one better in a decent maiden on debut, ending up in a 3yo race at Flemington behind Pallaton. That stands out here and Stackhouse on from a good draw should see him go close. MARILYN'S EDGE (11) resumed with a good run at Caulfield Heath over this trip, just finding one better. If she gets across early, she'll take catching on this track. TALLINGAS IMMORTAL (9) is flying having won her past two. They've been at Albury & Wagga but she can certainly measure up. NOT SURPRISED (7) is a lightly raced type who was solid first up in a stronger race, right in the market there. Wary of improvement from the inside gate. LIM'S TEIDE (3) is coming along well and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: That'smoneybrother to win.
