(3) Groovy Kinda Love should be going very close here 2nd up. She was unlucky not to win first up at Mornington in bm70 grade and drops to a bm64 here. Lane sticks with her, she does draw wide but I think that’s why she’s not close to odds on, and she is versatile whereas her dangers are probably forced to go back. Last prep she was only 2.7L off the likes of Good And Proper/Ocean Miss and that’s much better than this grade.

Following my money from last start with (13) Swamp Vixen who was simply outclassed behind Elusive Express and Yearning last start at Flemington. Those two have come out and quinellad the Thousand Guineas so clearly it’s much stronger than what she faces today. Interesting set up dropping back to 1200m but she did beat Sandy Prince earlier this year at this T/D so maybe she is a sprinter. Back to her home track, stable rider Holland on, can make a case at double figures.

(12) I Am In The Mood is probably the horse to beat first up with Lane on, (11) Miss Balvenie bolted in a Murtoa maiden on heavy ground on debut which has to be a query here.

Trent Crebbin

Trent’s interest in the thoroughbred started out as a spark with Black Caviar, became a flame with Winx, and has now intensified into a burning obsession with Arcadia Queen. He started out throwing loose change on random trifectas at the pub, but it wasn’t long before he was watching replays and looking at sectionals, weights and markets. Trent specializes in Victorian racing and hopes his first winner as an owner is just around the corner.
