7:00am - TAB LONG MAY WE PLAY HANDICAP | 1400m | | i

A few progressive types in the last race of the day and there should be some tempo too if ECHO JET rolls along like he did last week (tempo: FAIR to STRONG). PETRONIUS is drawn poorly out wide, but there isn't much speed between him and ECHO JET so he could cross to be outside the leader here. The last start 2nd over 1100m was fine and he'll have big upside to 1400m now second-up. ECHO JET and SUPER STAR BOB (enjoyed blinkers last start) right in the mix on the pace. SOMETHING FAST a big threat if he doesn't get buried back on the inside from the barrier and PHAISTOS is the other key winning chance winding up from the back late. WHITE BOOTS always a place hope and NATIONAL GUARD a big watch in the yard first-up in Australia. White Boots: Winkers OFF FIRST TIME; National Guard: Blinkers FIRST TIME; Just Dylan: Blinkers AGAIN.
