Eased back from Saturday company after finishing 11th behind Saint George at Caulfield, beaten just over seven lengths on soft ground, with the stewards noting difficulty obtaining clear running near the 300m. He had also been last in a Benchmark 100 at Caulfield Heath after beginning slowly. Needs to lift.

Drops from Saturday Open grade after finishing last behind Express Payment at Doomben over 1615m, beaten five and a half lengths, when unwanted in the market and unable to make ground after early trouble.

Ran fifth in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben last start, beaten just under three lengths by Livalittle, after being forced wide late and coming back from 60.5kg to 57kg here. His Benchmark 90 win two back over 2200m, beating Fernao by just over a length, reads strongly for this. Distance win record is the query, but he is right in it.

Had excuses when sixth to Livalittle in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben, beaten just under three lengths, after racing wide and keenly while still holding his ground. Before that he was third to Felix The Scat in a Benchmark 90 over 2200m and was near the top of betting. A realistic place hope if he settles cleanly.

Finished sixth behind Express Payment in an Open at Doomben over 1615m, beaten just over a length after settling well back and racing keenly early. His Listed Grafton Cup sixth two back was sound, beaten two and a half lengths by King Pedro after covering ground and being checked. Up in trip gives him a place profile.

Could not finish off when seventh to Livalittle in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben, beaten just under four lengths, with no clear excuse after being close enough on the turn. He was also safely held by Felix The Scat over 2200m two back. His Toowoomba record is strong, with four wins and two places from eight starts, so he can run into the minor money.

Second-up after finishing eighth in a Class 3 at Gold Coast over 1800m, beaten just under six lengths, when she was well back and only fair through the line. Her prior run was a long-distance Benchmark 90 at Warrnambool where she was well beaten at long odds. Needs a major turnaround.

Was second last to Super Fair in a Benchmark 68 at Doomben, beaten just under six lengths, after being there to strike before fading.

Was ninth behind Flaxlands in a Benchmark 65 at Doomben over 1615m, beaten just over seven lengths after beginning slowly and making no impression. The counterpoint is his Benchmark 60 win at Toowoomba two back, when favourite and beating Haberfield by a length and a half. Improvement needed.

Continued a consistent preparation when third to Artful Girl in a Benchmark 78 at Eagle Farm over 2400m, beaten three and a half lengths after working home well. He had won the same grade and trip there two back, edging Benzino by a nose. Back to 2000m with 53kg looks a strong set-up.

Ran fourth to Livalittle in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben, beaten just under two lengths, after covering ground and being hampered late. That followed a decisive NMW win at Eagle Farm over 1800m, beating Think Like Paddy by just under two lengths at generous odds. With 52kg, she remains a serious chance.

Went within a neck of Livalittle in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben, with that second placing coming after minor interference and confirming her strong current form. She had won a Benchmark 80 over 2200m there two back, beating Fernao by a long neck. Airborne and only needs to hold her form to be right there again.

Backs up after finishing seventh to Demarcay at Gold Coast over 2200m, beaten four lengths, with interference near the 400m adding some context. The run prior was a Benchmark 78 win at Eagle Farm over 2400m, where she beat Captain Maverick by half a length. Last run had some interference, so she stays in the place mix.

Produced a better effort when fourth to Super Fair in a Benchmark 68 at Doomben, beaten a length and a half after beginning slowly and picking up nicely.

Finished last to Super Fair in a Benchmark 68 at Doomben, beaten just over nine lengths after jumping awkwardly, losing position and covering ground. He had also been safely held by Felix The Scat in a Benchmark 90 two back over 2200m. Needs to turn form around quickly.

Arrives in form after winning a Benchmark 68 at Doomben by a head from Iconify, working home over the top at generous odds. She had been beaten a head by Power Pack at Ipswich in a Benchmark 65 before that, finishing strongly after beginning slowly. This is tougher, but she has the right place credentials.
