Racenet's Speedmaps spokesman Greg Polson said Saturday's race will be run at a genuine gallop with some speedsters engaged.

"There'll be no time wasting here,” Polson said. "Ball Of Muscle is a flyer and he'll lead with his stablemate Craftiness running cover.

"Happy Galaxy and Unanimously stalk the speed and I'm expecting Atmospherical and Shiraz to come across and settle behind them.

"The query runner on the map is Decision Time. If they look to push forward he'll be three deep so I'd suggest their best option is to ride him quietly.

"Aeronautical and Wouldn't It Be Nice go back.”

Corporate bookie Ladbrokes are offering $3.20 for the favourite Ball Of Muscle, $3.50 Shiraz, $4 Craftiness, $4.40 Atmospherical, $26 Wouldn't It Be Nice and Unanimously with the other runners at $31 or better.

"The scratching of Fell Swoop has taken a large chunk out of the market but we still think Ball Of Muscle is value at $3.20,” Racenet Ratings spokesman Cameron Happ said.

"We've got him a clear top pick and priced at 6/4.

"The other three favourites - Shiraz, Craftiness and Atmospherical - are all under the odds according to our assessments.

"The real value in the race is Unanimously. He's at $26 and we've got him priced as an 11/1 chance.

"Something each-way on him wouldn't be the silliest thing to do especially as it looks like he'll get a charmed run.”
