10. Wolf Junior
Betting Strategy
BACK: 6. Vino Novello (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $3.50)
Vino Cavello has had a solid grounding at the trials and looks to have nice ability. At his most recent, he matched strides and finished just too well for Ashby Boy, this year’s Devonport Cup winner. Snow Maiden a definite threat.
1. Azonto
2. Go Jeanie
8. Valiant Khan
6. Whippin Piccadilly
Betting Strategy
BACK: 1. Azonto (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.60)
Plenty of positives around Azonto who steps out to the 1350m third-up and can improve sharply. Covered ground resuming, then the beaten margin at Hobart second-up was a bit unfair.
4. Agnete
2. Warica
1. Thoros Of Myr

Many have a case, no market edge, sitting this one out.
5. Sushi Express
2. Kaliuwaa Falls
