He put a gap on the rest in a race where they came home at long intervals. Savvy Valentino (4) is racing in fine form, working home strongly for 2nd behind Torrens in the Listed Tatts Cup (2400m) last start. He was 32 days between runs so you’d think he’ll strip fitter for this longer affair. He stays down in the weights and will relish the rise to 2800m.Īccountability (10) finished 3rd in the race won by Wil Johnlast start, coming from 8th at the 400m. The runner-up has since finished a 0.1L 2nd in the G2 Bendigo Cup (2400m), so the form looks solid. Wil John (8) proved last start that he’s more than just a very good jumper, outgunning his handy stablemate Smokin’ Romansover 2400m at Caulfield. Shepard will probably take a sit just off the speed. Race two (11.20am) - The Macca’s Run (2800m)ĭecent speed here for a 2000m race, with Think We’re Due, Wil John, Good Idea and Skymax all capable of landing in front. VERDICT: Happy to stay out here but if you’re really keen for a punt,Renosu (3) is on top. Most of the debutants have shown some ability but Water Bomber (10) looked quite smart winning a trial at Moe, even though it was only over 670m. Renosu was probably the better run, closing strongly from the rear of the field. There was very little between Brereton (1) and Renosu (3) in the Debutant Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield last start and both should be better for the experience - although the straight is a different beast.

Brereton showed a bit of early toe on debut. Plenty of debutants doing battle down the straight here, so the map is far from clear-cut.
