    Race Analysis

    GRACIOUS DIVA (4) is close to a win at the fourth run back from a lay-off, the latest effort a third over 6f at Moe. The extra journey looks a positive step so a big run is likely. VAAFEE (1) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1m at Cranbourne, finishing one length from the winner. Leading contender. SHINTARO SAMURAI (13) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1m at Balnarring, scoring by 2. 25 lengths. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. JAYZEAL (2) has been given a 42 day freshen-up since finishing third at Kerang. Will strip fitter for a recent trial win. Strong record with Bailey Kinninmont in the irons, including a win. Worth including in calculations.
