A solid tempo is anticipated with Pro Aussie and Final Quarter kicking up to hold out the next wave. EARLY WARNING (3) returned from an eight-week let-up with a respectable fifth over 1600m at Stawell last start. Yet to miss the frame in three runs here on his home track and has placed at all four tries over today's trip. Back in grade and finds the ideal race to break a long win drought. SO ENCHANTING (8) hasn't been in her comfort zone since the maiden win at Swan Hill three back. Finds a more suitable assignment today so a return to form looks likely. PRO AUSSIE (5) is a consistent gelding, in the money at all three runs this prep. Will enjoy the step up in trip with the in-form Will Gordon to steer. IMMINENT STORM (4) was strong through the line at the end of a mile at Stawell last time so this longer trip looks ideal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be with Early Warning.
