Kandinsky should find the front with Aseventy Seven and Mike's Hope on his heels. Tricky finish. KANDINSKY (3) broke through for a narrow maiden win at Bendigo last time out having always promised good ability. Now he's got that out of the way he can go on with it from an ideal gate. MIKE'S HOPE (6) is a lightly raced gelding who won his maiden well enough fresh at Mildura before struggling in town. He was in the market there and can bounce back despite a wide gate. ZORB (5) resumed with a tidy win at Ballarat Synthetic despite starting $16. He can go on with it based on that victory. SIXTY GRAND (7) resumes for his second campaign and can sprint well fresh. TOLPUDDLE (4) is going well and should take holding out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kandinsky on top.
