One or two interesting runners in the nightcap, with I'M TO BLAME, sporting a first-time hood, looking to be the one that most catches the eye. His second bumper win marked him out as a potentially useful hurdler and he can hopefully confirm that impression on debut. Theatre Legend arrives with a bit more to prove, but also showed ability in bumpers and can't be ruled out while Heartasia looks the other potential major player, with Stormy Blues needing improvement.
