He was then beaten 2.3 lengths behind Sentimental Flame on the Parks over 1550m. He gets in well with the claim. WALK LIKE AN ANGEL was beaten 5 lengths behind Skybird in the G2 Tobin Bronze last time out and draws a nice gate, she's had no luck this time in but her best is right up to winning a race like this. LET'S GET DOWN is an interesting runner for the Stokes stable who has been 2nd in three of his past four, the latest at Ballarat when 2nd behind Outta Compton. They were both to firm in early betting. THE STALKER has been in good form and chased home Vintage Star on the Parks last time, the winner has done so again since and he draws a nice gate. DODD was good when beaten 1.7 lengths behind Vintage Star at Morphettville last time and he's a horse with some upside.

He gets to 1400m, some weight relief with the claim and capable of winning a race like this. WINE BARON is a nice horse resuming and was 2nd in the Adelaide Guineas last May behind Party Princess. He hasn't races since he was well beaten here as a $2.70 favourite in October but is well drawn and has trialled well.

Maracourt has been bursting to win a race for a while now. He was badly help-up when beaten 2.4 lengths behind Jazz Affair on the Parks before another luckless run when beaten 2.8 lengths in 5th behind East Indiaman. He probably should have won again last week when beaten 2 lengths behind Peacemaker when held up a couple of times in the straight, Jake Toeroek goes on and he has a win and placings from three starts here. The danger could be TI TREE LAD who comes off a nice Warrnambool win. OUTTA COMPTON was a Ballarat winner two starts back and then 2nd there last time when beaten 2 lengths behind Layeruponlayer. COMMANDER MEROO has been racing well and comes off a good win here beating Kushan Khanivale. He draws out but should be finishing strongly again.

He has a win and a second from his two starts here, draws a nice gate and is the one to beat. DELIGHTFUL SHECKY is flying having won four of his past five starts and all three runs this time around.

SELECTIONS: 9 PRESS DOWN, 10 Delightful Shecky, 6 Karacasu, 3 Larimer Street
PLAY: PRESS DOWN gets his chance, LARIMER STREET is the value.
