BEST BET - #1 - Crimmo
I think this looks like a very good spot for Crimmo who is a Michael Moroney trained three year old that hasn’t done much wrong in her three starts at the races. She saluted first up at Ararat and displayed a great run style there before racing at Sandown and Cranbourne over the 1400m and 1300m, clocking in close third placings in both runs. Gets out to 1500m, has been racing like further will be better and I am keen to see what she produces on race day.
THE DANGER - #2 - Powerful Eagle
Powerful Eagle has to be respected in this field for Peter Moody. He’s third up off a break here after resuming at Sandown and trying his guts out to end up second in an honest run before racing on the Lakeside track there last time out when they tried riding him forward but ultimately didn’t look like the best strategy when he just faded late, with Nolen back aboard and a bit of a sit I think she’s going to be hard to beat late.
VALUE BET - #3 - Tick Tock Boom (ROUGHIE OF THE DAY)
No knock on Tick Tock Boom who looked to make big improvements last time out when racing two weeks ago at Pakenham and really has started to come to the races. She bounced well, setting third and working throughout the run to give them a crack after the turn but just couldn’t get there behind some strong types to end up third. I think she will improve a lot off of that and the added fitness can only aid her chances, top chance to go over now.
