Luigi The Brave should be able to comfortably find the front. LUIGI THE BRAVE (6) is coming off a huge maiden win at Cranbourne, scoring by 5.5 lengths as a short priced favourite having been knocking on the door for a while. He's got good early speed to roll forward and take the lead which is always a positive around here. He can go right on with it. WHISKY MOON (9) ran a solid race first up over a shorter trip at Yarra Valley and can improve off that. Tough draw but he'll be finishing well. HAIIRO (3) went forward last start over 2156m at Terang and held on well for third, beaten 5.5 lengths. He's building a handy record and should have plenty to offer up to this trip. SUNDAY BUZZ (5) resumes off some jumps trials. He's capable enough over these trips on the flat and can run well. CLISTE (10) is off a narrow win at Swan Hill and could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luigi The Brave to win.
