Expecting Aberlutely and Kaimana Gal to pair off in front. NAJLE (5) is a lightly tried 6YO mare who is fresh up over 2200m, which suggests that she has been kept in work over the winter months. She is nicely placed in this limited field, and is capable of taking this out at some nice value. ABERLUTELY (8) has improved since being tried on pace, and she fought on gamely when finishing third as the favourite at Mildura just over 2 weeks ago. The visors are added, and they may work the oracle, so follow your money. PRO VELOCITY (6) was much more like it when finishing third at Kilmore last week, and she only has to run up to that form again, to be a big threat in this. JUST DANCE (2) bounced back into form when finishing runner-up by less than a length at Moe 12 days ago, and if he can hold his place from another good draw, then he is right up to going one better here. LUCKYHELEFT (1) is a durable veteran with a good record on this track, and his form has been near enough from a run of bad draws. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Najle each way.
