Solid tempo with Electric Elvis leading from Yauson and Justibella. Hard to go past the fit, in-form ELECTRIC ELVIS (2) who was well backed here last time out and proved far too strong sitting on a genuine tempo, coming away to score by 2.75 lengths. He'd been well backed in town prior too and with any luck from out wide he'll go close again. KATSUMI OROCHI (5) resumes having last been seen running second to Darkbonee which is strong form. Off a fairly long break but draws well and has the talent, watch the market. MASTER OF THE AIR (6) resumes, now with the Bedggood stable (formerly Chris Waller). He was contesting strong 3yo races last time in and keep a close on the betting for the sharp yard. YAUSON (13) resumes for his second campaign. He won well on debut at Kyneton and will take running down. CROWN CRUSHER (10) just found one better fresh and has claims off that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Electric Elvis to win again.
