    Race Analysis

    75 lengths from the winner in fifth when resuming over 1m4f at this track. Will take a lot from that hitout so he is sure to prove tough to beat. STERN IDOL (1) returns from a break of seven months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 2m6 1/2f at Ballarat. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. DIGGERS AIM (5) finished 5. 5 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1m4 1/2f at Pakenham after being in contention on the corner six days ago as 4/1 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Takes on a tougher assignment but shapes as one to consider. MOTIVER (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track over 1m4f after being handy for much of the way. Can fill a top-three spot.
