DARK SIMBA (12) just gets the nod in a good clash. He's always promised plenty of ability and really put paid to his rivals at Pakenham with a dominant maiden win, scoring by four lengths. Up in trip again suits and he'll likely have significant map favours over DREAMS COME TRUE (13) who looks the main danger. Dreams Come True looked very good charging from the back to score a big win at Geelong but barrier 18 likely means she gives Dark Simba a big head start. KOROBEINIKI (7) is coming off a sound win here last time out over this route. She typically goes well here and can be hitting the frame. PROMISED LAND (5) was good fresh in a strong race won by Roadcone who has since won easily again in better class. Fitter for that and an each way hope.
