Strong pace from Belle Inferno and Hot Off matching motors with Eastside Diamond close at hand. UNCLE BARRY (1) is ticking along nicely this campaign, boasting two wins. Came through a hot C1 at Oakbank to return to the winner's circle at Broken Hill last start. Only needs to hold his form to win again. LADY MEMPHIS (7) was far from disgraced when third last start over this trip at Balaklava, after she did her best work in the closing stages. That followed a win at Streaky Bay the start prior. Finds a suitable contest and can land another winning blow without surprising. EASTSIDE DIAMOND (6) returns for the Moosha camp and has been responsible for some strong fresh performances. Is unbeaten in three over this course and distance. Has to be taken seriously. HOT OFF (4) had their measure last time at Broken Hill when scoring comfortably. Tougher this time but deserves respect. RETROSPECTION (2) was in good form to close last prep and is worth keeping safe fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Uncle Barry to win again.
