Prophet's Pride and Iron Will to take up the running at a strong tempo. PROJETO (9) didn't offer a yelp fresh when resuming in a strong BM64 at Bendigo. The subsequent form has been terrific with three subsequent winners. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt as he returns to a winning track and trip. Draws well and gets some significant weight off. Sharp improvement anticipated. OH NO MIKKI (6) returns for the Widdison and is two-time winner fresh. Boasts a solid record over this course and distance and reunites with the well-associated Nick Souquet. Main danger. SUPIDO BEAUTY (8) also returns and is a progressive type, winning 4/8. Unbeaten over this track and trip and gets in well at the weights with the 1.5kg claimer back on. Can give this a big shake. IRON WILL (1) dug deep to return a winner off a long break at Canberra. Wary of a flat performance second-up but he deserves plenty of respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Projeto.
