Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. MILLENNIUM BLADE (5) has always promised good ability and looks well placed here first up. He proved too strong fresh last time in winning his maiden at Kyneton before struggling next time out as favourite, pulling up with issues. The ability is there, if he runs to his best he's the one to beat. BLUE HAWAIIAN (6) has come back well, backing up a narrow fresh win with a solid placing in town second up. This suits and she'll take running down from the inside gate. FEROCIOUS FRANKIE (9) resumes. She took on some handy races last time in and acquitted herself well. Fancy she'll get further this time in but she can sprint well fresh. LAWBOROUGH (7) won nicely on debut at Ballarat as favourite. This is a fairly tough 0-66 but he has to be respected. BRANDJAM (1) is going well and has each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Millennium Blade to win.
