A solid tempo on the cards with Jacks On Ice taking charge. Tricky race. WILLMOTT (1) tackled a strong race at Bendigo first up and was solid before a smart win at Donald over 1350m, settling midfield and coming clear to score by two lengths. This is a touch harder but he can go on with it. HEDONIST (6) is going well, far too good in easier company at Mt Gambier two back and measuring up well at Flemington latest. He's untested at 1400m but should handle it and measure up. HAY JOE (8) was beaten narrowly over this route when last seen and has minor claims in this tougher affair. JACKS ON ICE (2) is going okay and could give a sight with Meech on. Better placed in this than he was at Flemington last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Willmott on top.
