Savamoon and Venetian Choice to take up the running at a strong tempo. Sticking with LAUBERHORN (4) who was heavily supported on debut at Sale and won well enough, beating six rivals as the $1.50 favourite. Probably didn't beat much there but he should have learnt plenty from it and he can measure up to this grade. Not sure what to make of LATHLAIN (7). She was plain disappointing as a $2.45 chance last time at Sandown Lakeside. She's got ability but has struggled to maintain form into her preparations. LADY SADLER (9) won well fresh, just finding one better last time at Cranbourne. Finds a similar race again here and should be competitive. SAVAMOON (2) resumes. He was in consistent form last time in and can give a sight if wound up. SPARKLING LUCK (5) is racing well and rates an each way hope again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lauberhorn to win.
