Outcaster has enough pace to cross from the outside draw in a race devoid of genuine early speed. Open race. GINGER SWEET (9) should set up nicely from the gate having just found one better at her past couple, beaten a long neck on both occasions. She should be at peak fitness now fourth up and can improve again. PRINCESS NEFERTITI (4) has had a few chances but did run well behind a progressive horse in Maisy last start at Geelong, beaten two lengths. Like her getting to 2040m and she draws for every chance. LYGON STREET LUIGI (5) tried hard in a similar race here last time out when third and only needs to hold that level to be fighting out the finish. OUTCASTER (7) was no match for an easy winner last time but may look to cross from the wide gate and if left alone can give a sight. BITCOIN (1) comes back in trip but can be strong late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ginger Sweet to win.
