Race Overview

Big interest in the return of WHAT YOU NEED (6) who left a deep impression winning on debut at Geelong. It was just Geelong, and a maiden at that, but he thrashed some fairly useful rivals there and the rating was as good as anything here can throw up against him. Stiffest competition comes from GENERAL BARCA (8) took a Pakenham maiden win through to the Danehill in the spring and can be better this time around. Quick back up for MILLANE (2) who was okay last week after taking a chance in the Lightning first up. Given his easiest task for a long while now. FASUTO (7) has had a short break and returns gelded. He has talent while LINCOLN SQUARE (4) was too solid through the spring to be ignored..
