Genuine pace with Redwinelover crossing from the outside gate in search of the lead. THUNDERANLIGHTNING (8) is third up and made good improvement over this trip and Terang just 7-days ago. Comes back in grade, and Crowther will jump him from a low barrier. Fitter again and well placed to be winning. EL PASO CITIE (2) will race forward from an inside barrier and is busting to win. Races well here and should be right in it. TOUR DE MOON (7) is lightly raced and built on his Maiden win at Oakbank with a 1.8L defeat there in a CL1. Maps okay and the longer sprint will suit. He also has winning claims. YOURAWAY (11) just missed at Mt Gambier and then dropped back to 900m and delivered a win in a 56. Has been kept on the fresh side and will be around the mark. GLOVE ARTIST (3) resumes for a new barn and is good enough. Has been racing in tougher Victorian provincials, but an outside gate makes it tough. Keep onside all the same. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thunderanlightning to win.
