Plenty of pace from Cavascot, Frostration and Altrove vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. ZIGGY STARCRAFT (4) is fresh for this and in good form, not far away when fourth at Kerang last time having just missed in a 0-62 at Bendigo behind Louis Barthas the start prior which reads exceptionally well for this. Draw to effect here, if he brings his best he'll go close. DON'TCALLMECHAMP (2) ran well enough first up at Naracoorte when battling late into sixth. Expect improvement off that and he can figure. ALTROVE (18) ran well fresh at huge odds at Kilmore when third. We'll hopefully see that form franked in Race 6 with Queue Jumper, expect the 4kg claimer to ride positively and try to cling on late. OVERTOUX (9) is going okay without winning this time in, not far away at Kilmore or Yarra Valley her past couple. She won't need to improve much at all to be figuring in the finish. IMA GURU (5) was better last time at Wodonga and a repeat of that has him in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ziggy Starcraft to win.
