Pace only fair with Flying Billie rolling to the lead ahead of We Deserve This and Steel Mist. RIGOLETTO (3) deserved the CL6 win and then just missed a place after being cruelled by a wide barrier. Draws inside today and will position forward. Keep the handy claim and can win coming back from a mile, briefly freshened. VERBANO (5) went close in a 70 at Warrnambool first-up and has been freshened. That reads well, and the 2kg claim is handy. Strips fitter and should be right in it. FLYING BILLIE (4) was quickly back in the winner's circle, winning a CL4 comfortably. Maps for the run of the race, and Pires takes over from a 3kg apprentice. A chance to go on. NICCO THE GREEK (1) has more to offer third up and back on turf. He's up to this at best, and the 2kg claim helps. ROWING POWER (7) resumes and is worth a betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rigoletto.
