The feature of the day is a great betting contest over 1400m, the big question is whether you are with or against the much-maligned TOM MELBOURNE? Early speed from RELIGIFY, PENSKE and BURNING PASSION should make sure the tempo is FAIR, with ENDLESS DRAMA and DARK EYES just behind them. TOM MELBOURNE hasn't trialled into this, but he's very well-placed based on his last two fresh runs, close 2nds at G2 level behind Comin' Through. Blake Shinn is back in the saddle and gets the job from barrier 9. ENDLESS DRAMA (won a trial, sprints well fresh) and FLOW (won a trial, unlucky last start) are big chances too, both capable of powering into the finish over 1400m. BURNING PASSION and PENSKE (up in grade) around the mark each-way. [updated 8:28am]
