Red Galaxy has a great opportunity to break through here. Although he has drawn wide, there isn’t too much speed here so Craig Williams should be able to get across from the barrier. If he does so, he should have a huge advantage in running on favourite Cafe Millennium which can prove decisive.

Nearco Frod was terrific coming from last here when last seen over 2000m, making a stack of ground to run third. The key to his chances today is a better barrier draw, from four this time compared to sixteen last time, he should sit an awful lot closer in the run. The three kilo weight swing vis a vis the favourite Shockletz helps further.

This looks an excellent clash between two emerging three year olds in Taken and Dark Simba, no knock on the former but I am in the Dark Simba corner here. The weight rise for Taken is a concern and Dark Simba was just so impressive putting a margin late on his rivals last time at Mornington. I think he can be that little bit stronger when it counts.

St Lawrence is having his first start for new trainer Gavin Bedggood and I suspect he will be ready to go here off the back of some impressive recent jumpout form. The horse flies fresh (won four from five) and while he will need luck from barrier one, is certainly good enough if he gets it.

Fieldelo has been absolutely brilliant in her two career runs. She beat Sweethearted on debut at Kilmore, and following a spell resumed with a seven length romp three weeks ago at Bendigo. This is naturally a step up but the time and formlines all suggest she is well and truly up to this class – or even something better.
