Influenza is one filly that shouldn’t be underestimated. With James Cummings at the helm and Damian Lane, who’s been hitting impressive strike rates this season, in the saddle, this team spells success. Her trials in Sydney were exceptional, and their strategic decision to start her in Melbourne could be a masterstroke.
I’ve been keeping a close eye on Hard To Cross, trained by Patrick Payne. His performance at Moonee Valley was a solid indicator of his abilities. He’s shown he can mix it with the best, especially during his three-year-old campaign. I’m confident that today at Pakenham, he’s going to be a strong contender.
Jakivy’s form is hard to ignore. His last 600m at Sandown was the fastest of that meet, a clear testament to his speed and stamina. Though he faced some challenges at Moonee Valley, I believe this colt has the resilience and talent to make a strong comeback in today’s race.
Don’t overlook Mission Supreme. Since joining the Leek stable, this gelding has shown significant improvement. His debut for the new team was a close call, and I sense that he’s coming into today’s race in prime condition, ready to take on the challenge.
