Loads of early pressure, primarily from Oh Too Good, Eskimo and Hiyaam Proud. OH TOO GOOD (5) is a lightly raced 5yo mare who resumed with a very strong win over 1500m in the Geelong qualifier. Posted a good rating there and given she's only had five starts there's every chance she improves again. HIYAAM PROUD (14) tried hard behind Oh Too Good and was only first-up as well there. He too is lightly raced and can figure. HOOAH HAVANA (11) looks one at odds that can run well. He ran on well behind a smart mare in Yellow Sam at Bendigo over 1400m and getting to a mile now suits ideally. WILLMOTT (10) has won three in a row now and gets a beautiful map for Shinn which will see him take beating. VALOIS (1) is very consistent and can't be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hooah Havana each-way.
