A solid tempo expected with Intimeofneed pressing from an outside draw, joined in the lead by The Arrow. KIRA (12) resumed with a 2L defeat on the Mornington heavy for a leading metro stable and has more in the tank. Performs second-up and maps for the run of the race. Fitter and tough to roll with conditions to suit. IMPENDING SHADOW (2) peaks and has been racing in better class in town. Won a 70 at Echuca three back and the 3kg claim brings her into it. FIELDS OF COURAGE (6) resumes for Bedggood and has switched stables. He's proven fresh and has pieces of form that would see him competitive. Keep onside. YOOMEE WONDER (14) deserved the Swan Hill Maiden win and John Allen sticks aboard. She has upside and won't have to improve much to get into the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kira.
