Trained by Phillip Stokes and ridden by Thomas Stockdale, is poised to make a significant impact in this 1400m race. After a compelling performance at Geelong where he finished just 1.3 lengths behind Elouyou, The Mansman is showing great promise. He demonstrated considerable potential in that outing, nearing victory but ultimately conceding due to first-up condition constraints. With improved fitness and a better understanding of the race dynamics, The Mansman is expected to harness his speed and endurance effectively. His favorable draw positions him well to either take the lead or settle comfortably close to it. Is favourite, but should win comfortably.

Exhibited noteworthy potential in her debut at Sandown over 1400m. Despite starting from a position far behind, her remarkable closing stages were a highlight, suggesting readiness for a longer distance. Now at the 1600m mark at Cranbourne, her home track advantage and increased fitness level are significant pluses. Justaboom’s ability to navigate the track and her progressive adaptation to racing conditions indicate a strong likelihood of a standout performance.

A gelding trained by Mick Kent, is a notable contender in the 2580m race. His last performance over 2400m at Mornington was solid, particularly given the challenging start he had. Omeo’s ability to close the gap late in the race without posing a direct threat to the leader indicates a latent potential that could be realized in today’s race. The addition of Blinkers for the first time is an interesting tactical move, potentially enhancing his focus and performance. Omeo’s training background and physical readiness position him as a strong finisher. With this, I like him at the $5 mark.
