Highlands is the likely leader at a slick tempo. SANTA ANA MOON (1) got the job done as favourite in town fresh before a luckless run at Warrnambool in good company. Easy to forgive that one, he's a promising sort who can bounce back strongly here. BUTTERNUT PRINCESS (4) is a nice filly who did enough first up here in a small field BM64 against her own sex. Not sure she's quite looking for an extra 100m but otherwise this is a very suitable race. MY ZEPHYR (7) has been tackling better company of late and struggling. The run last time was behind a very smart one and being beaten only four lengths wasn't a bad effort. Don't discount. HIGHLANDS (2) struggled last time behind King Of Enterprise which somewhat ties in Santa Ana Moon. His form prior was good. OROVERO (3) is on the up and should take catching from the soft draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Santa Ana Moon on top.
