Island Rock and Sandrine possess good early speed. Lots of pressure where the 10-year-old RAGING MONKEY (5) gets chance to return to winning form. Suspect will take a sit here off the good draw with so many going forward out wide. Claim helps and with even luck looks poised to feature. STIRRUP (6) is also a veteran and is going better than form suggests. Well placed this company and with any luck from the wide gate will go close. WAR OF WISDOM (7) finished just ahead of Stirrup when resuming and has since finished a close-up seventh at Yarra Valley. Peaks now and among the chances. KULINA (8) has been racing at the picnics with big weights but fitter now and is a third-up winner. Right in this on best form. LOU LOU'S CHOICE (2) has a tricky draw but rates highly on best and can sneak into the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Raging Monkey to finish over the top.
