Solid tempo headed by Bleak Mid Winter and Irresistible Sir. WIND DREAMER (9) has held her form since winning at Echuca in July, and a track surface that is better than heavy is what she wants to be at her best. She always tries her best, and will again be prominent at the finish of this race. LAURA'S GOLD (7) will don the winkers for the first time in an effort to see if she can find some of her earlier good form, She benefits from a 3kg claim, and is worth including in all top 4 combos to be safe. THE CRUISER (8) is a durable veteran with a very good record over this trip. He cops a handy gate, and can't be taken lightly. HEARTATTACK JACK (10) ran on nicely late for third at Moe 12 days ago, and he will only continue to improve as his fitness levels increase, so stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Cruiser each way.
