Expecting Innocent Enuff to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. EDGES DIAMOND (3) is unbeaten from two starts, a tough winner on debut at Ararat before resuming at Geelong , straight to a BM66 there and finding the line late to get up by a nose. This is a bit harder again but it's a winnable race and his upside and profile makes him the one to beat. INNOCENT ENUFF (6) is flying, winning two in a row at Ballarat Synthetic before two good efforts since, handling the switch to turf in Adelaide well last time. She'll be up on speed and hard to get past. FORAGOODCAUSE (8) has been rock solid in two runs back from a spell and now gets to 1100m which can suit better. Likely gets back again but is open to improvement and looks a strong hope. HAPPY TIERS (14) worked home well fresh at this track and trip which was just her second career start having won well on debut. She won't need to improve all that much to be figuring. EL SALTO (5) was too good last time and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Edges Diamond to win.
