Socks Nation has good early speed and can negate the outside draw. ELPHINSTONE (6) has returned in great order winning at Ballarat and backed it up with a solid effort at Bendigo. Should be at her top for this contest and will be tough to stop. SOCKS NATION (7) was a Moonee Valley winner in January and form since has been strong. Drops in grade on most recent efforts and is expected to go close. MODOWN (2) charged home from back in the field at Bendigo last time which followed easy on-pace win at Pakenham. The rise in trip here won't pose a problem. Has solid claims. GAWNSKI (3) registered a first-up win at Mornington before running well over in Adelaide. Better suited back in this company. Looks a strong hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Elphinstone and Socks Nation to win.
