Moderate tempo expected, headed by Walk In The Woods from his low draw. EL AMIGOS (5) disappointed at Warrnambool during the Carnival, but it's best to just forget that performance. Previous couple of efforts solid for a race of this nature. Won't be far away. IDON'TGETIT (6) has had the two runs back from a break and he should be nearing his peak now. The rise in trip is likely to suit. Has to be respected. WALK IN THE WOODS (7) is getting up quickly in distance after just one run back but there were encouraging signs last time. Well worth consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back El Amigos and Idon'tgetit to win.
