Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from La Pleine Lune, Viasain and Ultra Blue. ULTRA BLUE (9) is racing well, a maiden winner two back at Terang, good again at Sandown Hillside last time. That form should hold up nicely. GUERITE (10) was first up off a long spell at Bendigo and ran well for third. Did win second up last time in and should improve a fair bit fitness-wise. VIASAIN (4) is racing consistently, around the mark in some slowly run races of late. In the mix. LA PLEINE LUNE (7) and COSTAE (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ultra Blue each-way.
