Pressure on from word go with Grand Impact and Starlight Scope handlebars down ahead of Poland and Pintoff. MAHARBA (10) has had two runs back from a spell and been good in both, beaten under a length by a handy type in Brudenell last time out. That horse then started favourite in the Country Discovery which quite a few rivals come through. SAVANNAH CLOUD (2) won the Yarra Discovery in a bunched finish. He's got a good record at this trip and is generally very consistent. Hard to knock again. GRAND IMPACT (11) was just fair first up off a long spell at Moonee Valley with 61kg but will strip fitter for that and his 3yo form is good for this. Don't mind THE INFERNO (3) back to a strongly run 1200m- both his runs this time in have been very good. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Maharba.
