Track: Good Weather: Fine

Just Fine dominates the market and hard to see it getting beaten off the back of two very impressive wins. Mr Waterville comes from the Waller yard and was solid fresh. Benaud is hard to catch but does get barrier 1 and the services of Jamie Kah. Major Beel should land on the speed and prove hard to hold out while Cleveland will be doing his best work late.

1.Knights Order (6)

Can’t have.

2. Navajo Peak (15)

Prefer others.

3. Cleveland (13)

He’s over the odds in this. Was given none with the ride last start and has had excuses his past few runs. If they over do it up front he can absolutely take this out and is very good place odds at the $5.00 mark currently.

4. Major Beel (5)

Another one over the odds. Can land up on the speed and is a consistent operator suited by the booking of Tim Clark.

5. Bois D’argent (10)

Can’t have.

7. Manzoice (7)

Been waiting for it to lift this prep. Prefer others.

8. Spirit Ridge (14)

Racing in good fashion and should be able to sit up on the speed and give a kick. Top 3 chance.

9. Ho Ho Khan (12)

Can’t have.

10. Kalapour (3)

Comes out of a lesser depth race but it was a sound effort. Should get a nice run in transit but may find these too slick.

11. Torrens (11)

Loves this track and trip so wouldn’t surprise at the $126 mark. Keep safe.

12. Benaud (1)

He has been hard to catch but is putting it together this prep. Has options from the draw and Kah does the steering.

13. Military Mission (18)

Mixing form this prep but the last start win was solid. Can roll forward from barrier 18 but may use some fuel doing so. Top 4 chance.

14. Just Fine (2)

Deserving favourite off the back of 2 very good wins. Maps well, gets in light and does look the most progressive of this lot, albeit has drifted out to the right price now.

15. Al Abir (8)

Racing well and should get a good toe into it. Did a bit wrong last start but goes in the mix.

16. Future History (16)

Hasn’t been far away all prep and goes in the mix against these but will need some luck from the barrier.

17. Mr Waterville (9)

Good effort last start and the stable need to be respected with the placement here. Suited by the rise in trip and this race suits. Big chance.

18. Wineglass Bay (4)

Can’t have.

6. Hosier (17) – scratched
