Track: Good Weather: Fine

Stacks of chances for the stayers over the 2600m. Hezashocka was very poor last run but prior form is good for this. Amade goes in the mix on best form. Muramasa has hit its straps this prep and looks hard to beat again. Duke De Sessa drops in grade and will be hard to hold out while Luncies looks under the odds but is still a hope in this winnable race.

1. Ladies Man (1)

Just sound last run but maps to do no work and the gun jockey steers. This race suits.

2. Duke De Sessa (2)

Maps kindly and gets the right race here and a decent drop in grade. Should go close with the right run in transit.

3. Knights Order (5)

Can’t have.

4. Luncies (14)

Good enough to win this but short enough. Tough draw and mixes for, there are a few negatives.

5. Amade (10)

Hard to catch but good win last start and just has to build off that. Goes in the mix.

6. Hezashocka (7)

Awful last start. Prior form was good for this and deserves another go.

7. Regal Power (6)

Going okay. Respect any market moves.

8. Kukeracha (9)

Has a few lengths to find to be winning this. Can’t have.

9. Muramasa (8)

Going along very well. Backed in early markets and no reason

10. Third Realm (12)

Can’t have.

11. So Dazzling (11)

Tough draw and map but like its chances in this. No luck last start and goes closer with a kinder run in transit. Can give this race a shake.

13. Port Phillip (3)

Can’t have.

14. Taramansour (4)

No luck last run. Drawn to get the right run in transit. Top 3 chance.

13. Pesto (13)

Can’t have.
