---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of pressure on from the outset. Happy to stick with THE GRUMPY BEAR (4) who is going well. Fresh-up winner of his maiden then a close-up fourth in richer company last time. Looks suited here, will be on speed and expected to feature in the finish. FAITHINHER (16) hasn't won for a while but is going well and drawn for a soft run. Gets chance to feature. DON'T RUSSIA (6) is back from a break. Placed in a recent Pakenham jump-out. Opened last campaign with a third at Mornington over 1000m. Has a good record fresh and looks all set for a positive return. JUICE BOX (5) is a speedy mare who impressed last start with a win in easier company at Balnarring. She goes well at this distance, and should handle the class rise. Should figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with The Grumpy Bear.
