Comments: Belmont 8-1 Lacida steamed home to win over 1400m two weeks ago. She drops back in trip but I don't think that'll matter here, as she's won twice at 1000m and there's enough speed in this race to allow her to get a drag into the race in the straight and run them down. She'll be good e/w odds and I'm happy at $6+. Bendigo 1-1 Ocean Journey finally got his act together to win by a goodly margin over this course last time out. Only rises 1kg and at around $5 he should give a good sight in this.

Black Book: Bendigo 3-7 Moondancing got to the lead half way up the straight first up at Warrnambool and accelerated in the style of a good horse to win by 6 lengths. She's either a really good horse or super wet tracker; maybe both. This race looks well within scope and I expect her to win if she's as good as I think she is.
