Tori's Dee should spear straight to the front of the small field. COL KLINK (1) goes on top. He's off a let-up here having run very stylishly first up at Geelong, coming from a long way back as the heavily supported favourite to score. He'd shown handy ability early doors and finds another suitable race here. NO GREATER VUE (4) is a handy type, another off a let-up having just missed as favourite at Stawell when last seen. Back to 1200m the niggle but he'll be strong late. BIG ROOSTER (3) is lightly raced, trying hard up in grade at Warrnambool last time off a solid maiden win fresh. He draws well and has claims. ATOMOVA (6) is coming off a good maiden win at Warrnambool and should measure up while TORI'S DEE (2) won a BM56 last time and is in the minor mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Col Klink to win.
