Strong tempo from Eight Under, Cool King and Bergasun. Absolute dartboard this one, so good luck if you're playing. BALTIC WAY (3) was less than a length off at Casterton in latest effort under 71kg, and that looks a very sound form reference for this race. Stay with. EIGHT UNDER (1) is arguably the most consistent performer among these, and looks an each-way player after a sound third placing at Pakenham most recently. CHRISTMAS (7) has plenty of fitness on side and can never be overlooked in this kind of race. BERGASUN (6) is in reasonable form and expected to be around the money again today. MARITORIOUS (8) brings some more race fitness today second-up and natural improvement could put her in the frame. SMILING ASSASSIN, ANPHINA, SHOGUN EXPRESS and COOL KING could all bob up without surprising. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very tough so let's throw BALTIC WAY, EIGHT UNDER, CHRISTMAS and MARITORIOUS into a boxed quinella.
