Vernaskova
Vernaskova(10)Win $1.80 it is a little short in the market, but ithasshowna lot last start, coming1.5 lengthsbehind Written Miss. It came 2ndinin an impressive debut last start and the trainer, CindyAlderson, has a great track record with 3-year-old Filly horses. It will be very fresh after 186-day spell and has drawn the middle barrier number (5). The only thing beating Vernaskova is bad luck it is aclass above here. Ben Melham should give this a mighty steer with cover and win by 2 lengths in this one. The distance 1108 metres is the perfect range for this horse, it looks like an almighty talent.

Who Doubted Me
Who Doubted Me (11)Win$ 22.00 Place $4.40 A bit of value late here! Coming off a fast-paced run at Cranbourne, this horse rates middle in the field. Billy Egan will be on board for this Benchmark 64. Having drawn the inside barrier, it will be on pace from the start. The 1419 metre distance should help here with it fatigue last time. It looks like it can run a much better race. This looks like a great each way chance.

Martnell Witness
Martnell Witness(2) $2win I know we have been picking a lot of favourites here, but it is very hard to go against champion jockey William Pike. It has been running well this campaign winning twice and is now ready for a fast past 1000 metre dash. For the exotic punters a great quinella would be (5) Nuhad who resume after a 17 weekspell and might have the fresh legs to challenge Martnell Witness down the straight the combined odds would be paying over $7. The apprentice will take the 3 kg claim here T Becker and looks primed to run a big race.

Elafella
Elafella (2)$4.00 win It’s a famous last saying back pike drink what you like! Last on the program, William Pike will be on Elafella. He will be in equal class running out the 1650 metre distance. Trainer Lindsay Smith has spoken briefly about this horse and said it isa very capable type. I am happy to be on in the last with Pike.
