Fast Heart has a good draw here and is given one last chance to prove his worth at the main expense of New Options and Glenargo. The selection has been in fair form of late but the key to his chance today is that he is dropped in grade. Neil Callan takes over in the plate and he looks to have been found a golden opportunity to get his first win in over 3 years. New Options is another eased in grade but he does not have a good draw and this 10-year-old failed to take advantage when dropped to a claimer a couple of runs ago. Glenargo ran well in a claimer a couple of runs ago and if he could reproduce that effort today then he would go close. Majestical can't be fancied from his wide draw and we are happy to stick with Fast Heart who will not get a beeter chance to resume winning ways.
