Bigolino should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. Tricky little finish. PIVOT CITY (12) has been a bit costly since a first up win, beaten at $1.95 and $2.70 at his past couple. To be fair, he's been unlucky in both and not been beaten far at all. He won well down the straight here fresh and with clear running he can atone. MARBLE NINE (4) is a consistent sort, not far away in a strange Listed Straight Six result here last time out. He did beat home Pivot City at Bendigo three back and should prove hard to run down. NAMESAKE (8) was a narrow winner last week at Caulfield in a similar sort of race. Backs up here with each way claims. RHEINBERG (3) resumes. He'll likely want a bit further but has good ability on his day. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pivot City on top.
