Moderate pace only with Van Roy leading Our Bambino. FOUR OUTLAWS (3) proved too strong last start and scored comfortably over this track and trip. Has three wins here. Rates highly and should go well. VAN ROY (5) has been knocking on the door with a couple of recent placings, the latest when second at Stawell, and gets some weight relief today. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Genuine threat. KING OF WESSEX (6) was too bad to be true last start in town but his form prior stacks up strongly. Draws well and the drop in trip suits. Can play a major role. OUR BAMBINO (1) resumes and is having his first run for the Ryan yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Muswellbrook. Will be forward for this after a recent trial win at Warrnambool. Solid top-three hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Four Outlaws can win again.
