Dr Leoni should appreciate the extra running room with a vacant alley next door.
This daughter of Fernando Bale can mix her form, but she does own a win over the track and distance to her name last month.
The shorter trip clearly wasn’t to her liking last week at Healesville, but this is a more winnable assignment if she can drift back early and make full use of her explosive speed.
Lindenow Grace is shooting for her hat-trick after prevailing in her final few strides here last week.
She should be better for that effort after stepping up in trip, and I do prefer her from a wider alley after winning well from Box 7 at Traralgon the start prior.
In a race that lacks clear early speed, she should land right on the bunny and take catching.
Black Viper will prove tough to reel in if he’s fast into stride from the wide box.
That was the case again last week when he went three lengths clear from Box 1, his fifth career win over the 510m trip.
He won that race in a nice time of 28.91 seconds and is likely to run most of these off their feet in the early stages.
Lightning Jewel is another one that should ping the lids early.
The daughter of Fernando Bale steps out in search of her hat-trick after winning her last two starts by a combined three lengths.
She’s suited by the inside box once again and should have plenty of room to take charge with a vacant alley next door.
