Looks to be plenty of pace with Mark Of The Man and Winston battling for the lead. Wide open but keen on the chances of MUPPET (10) to find some winning form. Was a winner six back then has placed three of five since but all in tougher grade, including last start in a BM70 at Caulfield when runner-up. This looks ideal and if she holds that form will go close. WINSTON (7) resumed in this class with an eye-catching fourth. Narrowly beaten last time when second-up, which incidentally was behind Muppet. Looks a big improver into this and expected to go close. CLEITUS (3) has been racing in tougher grade and strips fitter after the two runs back. Forget the defeat last time at the Bool over their carnival. Goes close on best. CHEROKEE BRAVE (12) comes back a notch as well and is also fitter for two runs in and ready to fire. BOLSHOI PRINCESS (14) turned in a big run fresh at the Bool and can only be improved in this easier grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Muppet.

This easier but will need luck from the wide gate. |
