Madesian and Diamanda possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. LETHAL THOUGHTS (1) finds the right race and can break through. He hasn't won in a while but is knocking on the door with three minor placings in a row. This looks a weaker field and with even luck today can be his day. DIAMANDA (12) is flying, taking her picnic form to Stony Creek & Kyneton and winning her past couple. She'll put herself on speed again and can win once more. MADESIAN (8) resumes for his second campaign having won his maiden before a spell easily at Tatura. He's got upside and can go on with it. TOPMOST (10) is consistent and maps for every hope from a soft gate. If he gets 1500m he'll take some beating. DEADLY PRESS (4) was okay fresh at Terang in a bunched finish and will be fitter with each way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lethal Thoughts on top.
