TAB BLAMEY STAKES
Very tricky and possibly tactical affair, which could benefit AIR ASSAULT (7) who should lead this for run. He ran a strong race first up in the G3 Carlyon, three wide no cover throughout there in a genuinely run race. He kept coming late and gets Damian Lane here who should take him straight to the front. HOLYMANZ (6) beat Air Assault home narrowly there in another good run to continue his consistent form. He can land leader's back from the inside gate and should go well. BIRDMAN (5) was very good first up in the Elms over 1400m, a trip far short of his best. An extra furlong suits but he may need 2000m+ to show his best. APULIA (2) resumes from a short let up having won the Perth Cup when last seen. He's a class galloper who has won over shorter trips, he'll just need to come from the back off a slow speed in what could be a bit of a sticky map. ENXUTO (8) charged home in the Elms fresh and can improve out to a mile.
