HEART OF GLASS (9) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PRANCING SPIRIT (3) sat close to the pace last time out but faded to finish eighth, beaten 6 lengths over this journey at Moonee Valley. Change of rider to Daniel Stackhouse who has two wins when aboard. Should be hard to stop. BARBARIC LAD (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 6f at this track, beaten 2 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BOLD RESPONSE (12) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with one length to spare over 6f at Moonee Valley. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from three starts. Must be respected.
