DESERT LIGHTNING (4) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by a long neck over 7½f at Moonee Valley. Luke Nolen who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. Lay-off last start when second over 7½f at moonee valley, beaten a long neck. Won't mind the extra ground so she is among the winning hopes. GOLDEN PATH (8) is coming off a determined win last start over 1m1/2f at Flemington a week ago. Gets some weight relief this time so he is expected to be competitive again. BUCKAROO (2) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 3 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 7f in the G1 Memsie Stakes at this track. Will be tough to stop again.
