Via Vegas should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. VIA VEGAS (8) broke his maiden in good style last start, stalking the pace then letting down impressively over 1206m at Benalla. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and should have no trouble getting the extra furlong. PEARL TROUT (7) loomed up on straightening then took over soon after and was a shade too good in a 1300m Corowa maiden 17 days ago. Lightly raced mare who can go to the next level here. MR MARRAKECH (4) has transferred from Moody/Coleman to Craig Widdison since finishing a close third over 1469m at Kyneton a month ago. Wide gate a concern but good enough to play a role. WHITEHART (11) flew late but missed by a whisker when resuming over 1200m at Wagga recently. Good second-up performer who will relish the extra journey this afternoon. HOFF TO SEA (9) impressed over this distance at Corowa last start and from a good gate deserves plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks ideal for Via Vegas.
