RACE COMMENT
SHEETWEB WEAVER (9) resumes after going through his last campaign unbeaten, winning five times at this circuit along with a Goulburn Cup victory. Has moved to the Anton Golino stable since and should be ready to go off three nice trials. LEAF STRIDE (11) was impressive over this distance last time, coming from a wide barrier to cruise home by 17m. Switches to a standing start but was runner-up under those conditions in his previous outing. JOHNS BOY (3) brings consistent form from Victoria including a nose defeat from a 30m handicap two back so will appreciate starting from the front mark. MALIBUU (4) was a beaten favourite behind Leaf Stride last time but won well here prior so is capable of better. SUNNY GEE (12) can feature again after placing in his last two appearances.
