Hot pace certain with Lim's Bighorn, Oh Too Good and Arentee keen to take up the running. Tough finish. WINNASEDGE (5) is racing very well, fifth in a $500,000 race at Flemington two back before tackling the G2 Tobin Bronze Stakes at Morphettville and boxing on well for third to Reserve Bank, who is single figures in The Goodwood today. Tough draw but is 2/2 at Caulfield and will be very hard to hold out. CODIGO (11) is going well, winning two to start the campaign before a solid effort at Flemington. He'll be up on speed and looks a solid each-way hope at odds. PIVOT CITY (10) is flying, unsuited by drawing barrier one at Bendigo when having to wait for runs and getting out too late. Drawn towards the inside again is perhaps a knock but he'll be very hard to hold out. OH TOO GOOD (3) is a talented mare resuming. This is short of her best but she's got upside and may well be better than this grade. PRANCING SPIRIT (14) was knocked off as favourite last time but is going well and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Winnasedge & Codigo.
