ATA/BOB HOYSTED HANDICAP
Competitive race. Early prices lean to MIDWEST (9) who relished the straight for the first time here, leading throughout in good time to score by 1.75 lengths. Stays down in the weights, if he's let roll again he'll be hard to catch. PISANELLO (8) was outstanding first up at G3 level in Sydney, heavily supported and charging into third late. He's progressive and has clearly come back well. Huge chance. JOYFUL FORTUNE (3) was good here first up, dropping right out in the G1 Lightning Stakes last time. Back in the right race now and a big price in early betting. SPACEWALK (2) resumes. He can mix his form but is certainly up to this on his day and Shinn on is a positive. SANS DOUTE (7) was just fair fresh in the G1 Oakleigh Plate but loves the Flemington straight and can improve quickly.
