A strong gallop is likely with Cruiserweight and Yuuki taking up the running, closely attended by The Mean Fiddler and Doubtland Diva. Good race featuring a few progressive types. CRUISERWEIGHT (1) is on debut in Australia after being bought out of New Zealand following a 5-3/4-length debut win. That was the performance of a horse who will win many more races and he has been trialling up at Flemington like he is going to hit the ground running in Oz. YUUKI (7) has put together back-to-back wins after a nice first-up second placing and he has a fitness edge on a number of the other key players here. THE MEAN FIDDLER (2) is another resuming, but has had three trials, although not knocked around in any. Not disgraced in two metro runs following the maiden win, so a big return would not shock. ZOULETTE (4) was a noted drifter last start and never really featured, but was a nice winner first-up and should be at peak fitness now. ARIZONA LUCK (11) will be better over further later in the prep, but will be better for the first-up run and her only top-three finish was a maiden win over this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cruiserweight to win.
