Bonnard and Lovaci possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. EL VIENTO (5) was beaten by a nose here fresh up, and followed that up with 2 more sound efforts in similar company. He has drawn well, and with Craig Grylls back in the saddle, he is the one to beat. BONNARD (6) has gone form strength to strength this year, and made it a hat-trick of wins when scoring here nearly 3 weeks ago in BM75 company. He likes it wet, drops in weight, and can measure up in open-class for the first time. HASSTOBEAWINNER (1) has found it hard to win at times, but he posted a rare victory at Ellerslie 3 weeks ago. He is slapped with an extra 5kg for this, but he can produce another honest effort in this. Include. JOSHUA BROWN (2) will be peaking third up from a spell, and if he can find a soft lead, he could take them all the way at a decent price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Joshua Brown each way value.
