SHIDAN (12) is a distance specialist who finished fourth two runs back at Sale then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 7f at Pakenham. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. TREASUREFLIGHT (10) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished seventh when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track then improved and scored over 7½f at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 4. 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can win again. INHERENTLY (9) placed at first two runs back from a break then tackled city class latest when fifth at Caulfield but will find this easier. Not far away latest and should be at peak now. Previous form sound and rates among the leading chances. FLYING MIKKI (2) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
