Genuine pace with Pentonville Road taking up the running ahead of Fortyfour Magnum and Grassmere Diamond. LESCOT (2) went back-to-back winning first-up at Kerang and then did a good job beaten 2.4L at Bendigo. Presents fitter again, and back to country grade can bounce back. TRUSTFALL (5) peaks and is ready to win. He's back in grade off a 1L defeat in a Casterton and will hit the line hard. FORTYFOUR MAGNUM (7) is a leader who improved again, winning a Maiden at Kilmore. That stacks up, and she will have taken fitness from the run. Kersley rides the track well and will give her every chance. PORT LOUIS (8) surprised the market, beaten 1.7L at Horsham. Fitter again, and has a 1.5kg claim. Has won third-up and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lescot appeals most.
