They should run this along with Valley Prince and Better Not Fuss taking it up over Mi Mijo. MI MIJO (2) has found his best form again and is chasing a hat-trick of wins after scoring by a length here nearly 2 weeks ago. He has performed with credit at this level in the past and can get the job done again. LA VESUVIUS (1) led all the way to score at his local debut and then was third as an odds-on favourite here last time out over 1400m. He is ready now for a mile, and he will be hard to hold out again. VALLEY PRINCE (3) is a durable veteran who races pretty much exclusively on this track. He will be peaking third up, and with 3kg less to carry this time, he can figure in the top 3. BETTER NOT FUSS (4) can mix his form and put in one of his better efforts here last time out when finishing second. This is his pet trip, and a similar effort would see him go close again. SILENTDEEL (6) was an overdue maiden winner out of his class here 3 starts back, and he drops 2kg from his last start fifth. He has the pole position and can run into the money. MURRAJONG ROAD (5) place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mi Mijo to win.
