Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Miss Gatsby, Ahvejay and Fiorente Rules to control the tempo. MORLAIX (7) is ready to break through after collecting her 4th minor placing in a row last time over 1600m at Strathalbyn. Finds a suitable race and can take the next step and salute. WILD WILLY (1) worked home well into fifth last start over 1815m at Mt Gambier, an improvement on his Terang effort the run before. Rates highly on best figures and is a major player. ENLIST (9) tan a better race and finished 1.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at Balaklava after being in the firing line on the turn. Perfectly placed and can play a pivotal role. LUMBER DREAM (3) also turned in a better run last start, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth over 1550m at Mt Gambier. Capable of featuring prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Morlaix to win.
