Shooter Mcgavin is expected to lead at a slick tempo. Open affair. FLYING MEAN (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1000m at Sale. He's stuck on 1 win from 15 starts but it's worth noting he's now with the Feek yard. His best form is good enough to win this, watch the betting. SHOOTER MCGAVIN (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fifth in a 1300m contest at Swan Hill four weeks ago. His best synthetic form reads well for this and he can give a sight. BLACKLIP (7) has been kept fresh since sitting on the pace last time but fading to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. The placing prior has him right in the mix off a let-up. STORMBOURG (5) has been below his best at his past couple but can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Mean on top.
