Race Overview

GREEN BELT (5) is the watch in the race. Convinced he's the most talented in this but we've only seen him 3 times and not since April 2022 with injury issues. That run he did finish second at listed level at Eagle Farm and he has won two jumpouts leading in. Market will be key. PUNCH LANE (8) has won both starts this time in and if Green Belt isn't ready he'll go close again. Dominant at Geelong last time and a repeat of that will go close again. HELIX (6) was better last time here, beaten narrowly by Bel Air. Certainly good enough to win this and can break through. EXPLOSIVE THINKER (13) won well first up before an even effort at Caulfield. Can certainly bounce back here. VAGRANT (12) next best.
