Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   True  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward. GREAT FORTUNE (10) ran over the top to score by 0.3L at Bunbury second-up and tends to hold his form third-up into the campaign. He drops in weight today as his is tougher, though Pike sticking adds confidence and he maps well. Can win again without surprising. MEGAMI (1) finds herself in the easiest race she's been in for some time. It usually takes her a few runs to get going, though if she's able to be somewhere near her recent form first-up, then there's no reason why she can't come out on top. GRAND RESERVE (2) found one better last start but looks to be working his way through the grades nicely. Has to be included. SOLDANELLE (4) was good fresh and can build on that effort up to the mile. SUGGESTED PLAY: Great Fortune gets the nod.
