Fanciful Toff returned to winning form with a tough effort at Bendigo last start and he clearly relished the step-up to 2200 metres. He proved too strong for Latin Beat, his main rival again, and 2400 metres might be even better for him. He maps to get a dream run in transit and he can make it two wins on the trot.
Tatunka has raced well during his racing career to date and he found the line strongly to finish second at Seymour last start. He will settle in the second half of the field, but this really isn’t the strongest race and he has the turn-of-foot to finish over the top of his rivals in the concluding stages of this contest.
Blonde Choice drops back in class after she finished a more than credible seventh behind Embrace Me in the Typhoon Tracy Stakes at The Valley last start. The drop back to 1100 metres suits and a repeat of her last start effort would make her tough to beat. She will make her own luck right on the speed with Liam Riordan in the saddle.
Crown Dancer has only recorded the one race win, but she is a filly that does have a fair amount of talent. Her maiden race win did come fresh and she does map to get a lovely run right on the speed with Luke Currie in the saddle. She can make a winning return to the races and it would not surprise to see her end up in stronger races than this one.
