Pace genuine with The Grumpy Bear and Superset pressing hard closely followed by Suze Spritz and Some People Callme. Plenty of win chances but hard to go past SPIRITED DEFENCE (5). Loves the course and distance and was a recent jump-out winner here. Looks well placed to run a big race fresh. SOME PEOPLE CALLME (2) is fitter for two runs back and looks close to break through after placing at Swan Hill latest. OLIVIA ROSE (10) has a great record if you forget the soft track failures. Struggled on the heavy last time but first try here should do much better. SUZE SPRITZ (7) resumes and is well placed here. Should be winding up late. ONE LONG DAY (1) ran on late ion tougher last time and is among the chances this line-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Spirited Defence fresh.
