Making Music and Hotham are holding their form well and can fight out the finish here, with the first named just getting the verdict, Joyeaux may do best of the others. The selection finshed just two heads in front of Hotham when they met at Beverley recently. Noel Wilson's charge does have a two pound pull in the weights, but he does come from behind and may find the odd traffic problem. He should still be involved in the finish and Joyeaux should also be thereabouts. She makes a quick return to the track having won nicely at Hamilton last Sunday and she can go close despite a six pound penalty. Valley Of The Moon is proving hard to win with but is another to consider in a wide open race, However Making Music is in the form of her life and she can make it four wins on the bounce.
