Fourthtimelucky to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. FOURTHTIMELUCKY (9) talented gelding who indicated a win was imminent after savaging the line with a close-up sixth over 1170m at Wangaratta second-up. Key jockey change from the good and will relish the fast tempo. Hard to hold out. JESTERS AWARD (11) lightly raced filly who was a total forgive from the wide gate with a dismal eighth over 1000m at Wangaratta. Drops in weight from the good draw and shapes as a leading prospect. OLATUNDE (7) returns from a let-up after running some respectable races in Victoria. Ticking along nicely with a 700m jump out at Bendigo and look for him late. DITTERICH (4) has been knocking on the door including a last start third over 1000m at Canberra when only 2.25 lengths from the winner. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fourthtimelucky doesn't have to improve much to take this out.
