The Alex Stra-trained runner drew clear for an easy win over this C/D last start when second up and this does not appear any tougher. Up slightly in weight but has drawn to get a good run on the pace from barrier 5 and is the one to beat here.
Natural Disaster rates well on weight adjusted Timeform ratings and third up now looks ready to show her best.
Proven at both the track and distance she should be able to overcome the main danger of Bermondsey who has also won his last two.
Quick Lover who lines up in the Become A Sajc Member (75) Handicap also looks well placed to continue on her winning way, running in the placings her last five outings, winning three of them.
Has won all four starts at the trip and with the 3kg claim for apprentice jockey Jake Toeroek she will be hitting the line strongly again and looks the clear top pick.
Quick Lover, has finished out of the placings just twice in nine runs and her only time at the course has yielded a win.
Her last starts effort at this course rates well on weight adjusted Timeform ratings and a repeat of that effort will see her winning again.
Mr Lowndes, currently the $1.65 favourite will line up in the first on the program a raging hot favourite but comes up against a couple capable of knocking him off.
Mr Lowndes was third at this C/D last start in the same race Richoman finished runner up. There does not appear to be a great deal between these on ratings and at the current short price of Mr Lowndes would be willing to take him on.
He is likely to get back from the inside draw and could well find trouble whereas Richoman will go straight to the front from barrier 3 and be in this for a long way.
