Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Factcheck to take up the running with Mr Epozino and Stella Cantante close at hand. ATTAIN (1) has been a frustrating horse this time in but he put the writing on the wall last start at Cranbourne when finding the line strongly for second as favourite. He comes back a notch in grade here and should get every chance settling midfield from the low gate. With clear running for talented apprentice Jackson Radley he can get the job done. FACTCHECK (2) wasn't beaten far first up at Seymour over 1300m and should be fitter for that. He's proven over further but has been kept fresh for this slight rise in trip which should suit. LULU DARLING (5) is knocking on the door with three minor placings in a row. She should be right there. LITTLE BIGHORN (8) is going okay and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Attain gets one more chance.
