Race Overview

FORGOT YOU (4) is racing very well, again closing off strongly in the G3 JRA Cup last start at Moonee Valley behind an in-form horse. Back to 1800m might be a small knock but the small field suits and Shinn should have him in striking distance. POUNDING (1) can improve. He's been contesting stronger races of late and his best figures would go a long way to winning this. SIBAAQ (3) is consistent and has been thereabouts with Forgot You of late. He'll roll forward and give himself every chance. MR MAESTRO (7) was okay late at Caulfield first up and is much better suited to this range. Might need one more but can run well. LORD VLADIVOSTOK (6) has come back very well and the 1800m third up looks ideal.
