Pace strong with Regal Lion and Johnnie Pinch leading with Morryl Moral nearby. WYMARK (1) comes here off a smart win in the Yarra Valley Cup, well ridden there but coming away nicely late to score by 0.8 lengths. If anything this looks a touch easier and if Gordon can slot him in from out wide he can complete the double. REGAL LION (3) just missed behind the country cup's king Station One last start at Stony Creek when beaten a neck. He's racing well and will take holding out. CHASE YOUR DREAMS (2) has just battled in two runs back but showed good staying ability last time in and could be a quick improver up to this trip. ALL SO CLEAR (10) is racing well without winning and looks well in at the weights here, with even luck he can be figuring at odds. UNSEEN RULER (8) beat a few rivals at Mt Gambier last time and has to have claims again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wymark to win.
