Just a moderate tempo headed by Crystanado, Forest Jim and Capital Grace. DIAMOND GUST (7) blinkers go on after closing late in the small field at his first run back when fourth over 1200m at Mornington. Lone victory came second-up and gets a key jockey change here. Sure to be thereabouts. CAPITAL GRACE (4) is chasing her third win from the last four runs and looks up to this stiffer test at the second run back. Shouldered the 60kg from the sticky gate when a gritty nose winner over 1408m at Werribee. Open to plenty of improvement and not to be underestimated. FOREST JIM (6) better effort at his second run back when he chipped away late with the 62kg to finish fourth over 1400m at Echuca. Genuine top-three prospects from the draw. IN HER STRIDE (3) back in grade when had the confidence boost scoring at Terang in BM56 grade. Place claims best against some of these. SUGGESTED PLAY: Diamond Gust looks set to shine.
