B3. Shaft Attack(B7)bet | Midfield | Fast tempo suits, gets pulled into it | Best closing sectionals in the field | Settles midfield, is first up after 299 days, the tempo is in its favour and it comes home over the top of them with the best closing sectionals in the field. Bet: $7.00 in the market against our $5.90, an edge of +2.6%. |
24. Cool Blaze(B5) | On pace | Fast tempo against it, gets tested up front | Runs the race out evenly | Settles on the speed, goes well fresh, 1.5 points up, has a poor last run to forgive and the tempo is against it. No bet: in our top four, but $4.20 against our $4.70 is about right. |
38. Ballyhoo(B4) | Leader | Fast tempo against it, gets tested up front | Does its best work early | Should lead, is the lone speed, three points clear on early sectionals, goes up 2.0kg, the tempo is against it and it needs to be there early because it does not finish off. No bet: in our top four, but $4.60 is shorter than our $6.20. |
Rates top of the field at 83.1, and the market is longer than our price.

47. She's The Key(B3) | On pace | Fast tempo against it, gets tested up front | Does its best work early | Settles on the speed, comes off a win, is drifting in the market, the tempo is against it and it needs to be there early because it does not finish off.
