Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Limited Risk, Vinnie's Spirit and That's Justified. BEAU FACTOR (3) was 5 from 5 on this track prior to his last couple of starts, where he has not had all the luck in the world. He has 4kg less to carry this time and is nicely placed to return to winning form. THAT'S JUSTIFIED (1) is a durable veteran who should now be at his peak fitness after having 3 runs back from a spell. He will be suited by the drop back from a mile to 1400m and is ready to put his best hoof forward. GREAT GUST (6) is an ex-Victorian who made a winning local debut here over 1100m last week, to remain unbeaten when fresh up. The extra 300m will suit him, and he can repeat the dose. VINNIE'S SPIRIT (2) was disappointing last time after some fine form in the lead up, finishing seventh over 1900m at this track. Can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beau Factor to win.
