Nothing has gone right for BELLANADO since the Geelong win 2nd up. He won this day last year on a H9 when this race was a BM58. He carried 61kg. His stablemate EPOCH is 2 for 2 on heavy tracks. He's missed the top-4 once in his 12 start career and that miss was a close 5th. Like EPOCH, DARWINIAN had Janey Bopper behind him in the placings when he won his maiden. STAR OF ROSSA was unusually poor 2nd up. I note she was replated at the start. She revelled in the ground 1st up. Maybe she takes this one? Betting? Yendall was aboard last time he rides EPOCH her stablemate. TEE EIGHT had tempo against last time. Fitter, out to 2000m and some weight relief, expecting better. ADIRA RIVER revelled in the ground at Hamilton three back. Cranbourne BM66 was solid. She pulled too hard last time over 2500m.
