Race preview
THE VILLAIN (7) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his victory last time out, scoring by 1.4 metres over 2080m at Cranbourne after taking full advantage of the pole position. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. ROAM (3) continued a strong run of recent form and registered another success last time out, scoring by 19 metres over 2190m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field so she can certainly make it two on the bounce. POSTER PERFECT (4) ended last prep with a eighth at Melton over 2240m six months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort. SPIRIT OF SAHARA (1) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.
