Race Overview

HERMAN HESSE (4) looks nicely placed here. He showed good improvement second up to run third in a Bm100 won by Regal Power at Caulfield second up and should be set to peak here. Gets in well with 53kg. ARUGAMAMA (7) is obviously hard to knock. She's won her past three starts at short odds in SA by good spaces and will be well fancied to go on with it in a pretty thin race. GOLDEN CRUSADER (8) has had two runs over a mile this campaign and was much better second up at Moonee Valley. Suited up in trip now and will give a big sight. MR BLACKWOOD (9) was a bit better second up and can get into the finish now. SKELM (2) next best.
