|---|---|---|---|---|

Pace strong with Diamanda and Vegas On Fire leading with Eye For An Eye nearby. Few of the better chances are scratched. EVERYTHING COUNTS (1) is a consistent type resuming but looks well placed. Close to the winner last run before a break over the border and has placed only try here at home which was at this trip. Spain returns to the saddle and was a winner only ride. Fitter for two jump-outs and should be winding up strongly. EYE FOR AN EYE (5) is the hardest to beat. Hasn't been far away finishing fourth over 2200m at Bairnsdale latest. Consistent and hard to beat in this line-up. VEGAS ON FIRE (13) gets chance with all the scratchings. Thereabouts recently and while going up a grade jere on last start is very attractively weighted with the claim and big weight drop. Has the pace to lead and in this thinner field now will give a sight. DIAMANDA (14) is in the same boat. Veteran mare with a good record at the course but will carry no weight after the claim. Goes forward and should be in this for a long way at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Following the local Everything Counts.
