OMNIC made a good Victorian debut at Donald. The winner of that race looks a good prospect (Flemington Saturday). The box seat with a relatively light weight make him hard to beat. There's not a lot of obvious pace here outside of IMPONDERABLE. Her past two placings over 1600m are good for a race like this. LOTS OF TIME is a lightly raced mare who can go right on with after a 2nd up win on heavy ground. No worries for her out to 1600m. She maps well. SQUARE DEAL has an awkward draw to overcome but he has the right man aboard and he is in good form. FASTOBID won well 1st up for his new stable. The one he defeated has won easily since. SHAHZAD has to be some hope off his Warrnambool placing three back in a strong race. REAL ALLIANCE can improve if the track is better than heavy. MOZZONI might do better blinkers off.
