Verdict

Tricky. NATIONAL CODE (5) has found one better in her past three but a win looks close. She made a wide, sustained run from a hopeless spot at Swan Hill last time and ran very well. Two runs prior read well for this and with even luck she can go one better. Not sure what to do with FLY BY LIGHT (1) who was poor first up at Caulfield behind a speedy winner. Since been given a let up, he's better than that with the betting all important. I STAND BY YOU (2) resumes. He was a surprise winner fresh last campaign, then tackling the Future Stars Final at Pakenham when eighth. He should run well. VILNIUS (4) has been okay in two runs back and should be at peak fitness now, consider. ANIA (6) is racing well and drawn to effect, each way hope.
