Leia will resume at Moe today and looks well placed when lining up in the Wild Turkey Honey Benchmark 79 Handicap (1114m).

The team Corstens-trained runner was last seen when running a solid fifth at Flemington as a three-year-old on the back of some good form prior in similar company.

Leia, who has a solid career record, finds herself taking on easier company today and Michael Walker stay on board from this.

The four-year-old mare should get a good run behind the leaders from the inside draw and on best form rates clear in this company.

The daughter of Starcraft has had the two runs over the trip, winning one and placing on the other occasion and has run very well when fresh previously.

More than likely heading towards some tougher races in metropolitan company throughout the summer, Leia finds a very good race to resume in and looks the one they have to beat.

The scratching of Military will make it a much easier task here and on the back of some decent form of late, Monde Boy looks the main danger.

Won just three starts back at this course over a similar trip and has not been far away in two outings since.

Has a good record not only at the course but the trip as well and his win three starts back rates well against these.

Dale Smith stays on board and despite backing up quickly into this, would not be surprised to see him in the finish.

The resuming Classic Charm also rates a mention despite mixing his form last campaign.

Has failed to win a race in over a year but went close in a decent race at Bendigo last time in where he placed in two of his three outings.

Vlad Duric sticks with the lightly raced five-year-old and is worth including among the chances here.

]Subiaso ran in much tougher last campaign and also finds himself resuming. Won a recent trial at Cranbourne and despite looking for more ground will be running on but suspect he may need further.
