Race Analysis
POUNDING (7) might be able to press up into a handy spot here without a great deal of speed around. He made a smart horse pull out the stops to get by him last week and there is nothing of that calibre amongst his rivals today. ARRAN BAY (4) did win nicely second up on his home track and he has been terrific in four Flemington runs in the past. Winner at his lone shot at the mile here and two from two at the trip overall. UNANIMOUS (3) had no luck here over the carnival and then good at Ballarat in a race that was won in good overall time last start. Ratings stack right up. BELTORO (6) was terrific running by him here on Champions Day and was good again behind Arran Bay last time. Can be closer from a low draw this time. ANOTHER ONE (2) measures right up.
