Pace genuine with Super Lad and Streetcar Apollo pressing hard closely followed by Easy Campese and Willybeafactor. TEST OF LOVE (8) has returned in superb order and was only run down late when chasing a hat-trick. He raced a touch keen last time, so if Milnes can get him to relax he’ll be mighty tough to run down. FAST BUBBLES (5) has mixed his form since resuming but he savaged the line last start at Murray Bridge and he’s still fit and firing. He’s been kept fresh with a month between runs and he owns a strong record at this trip. Taking very seriously. FINE FUTURE (12) only warmed up late second-up and made solid inroads without threatening. He gets in light and can cause a scare if they roll along up front. STREETCAR APOLLO (6) is a proven winner and bounced straight back from a hiccup two back with a strong win last start. He’ll be competitive again. WATADEEL (1) showed signs of life in the C S Hayes Memorial Cup, just peaking late. Third-up back to 1400m looks perfect and he can play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Test Of Love to win.
