    Race Analysis

    TSITSIPAS (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 1m5f contest at Cranbourne two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MERCANTE (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2. 25 lengths back in fourth over 1m4 1/4f at Geelong. Sure to give a great sight. WHISKY MOON (6) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1m7 1/4f at this track, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. HIGHLAND GLORY (11) ran below expectations last time at Geelong, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
