STAGE 'N' SCREEN (2) has been in good form, scoring three back at Sandown-Lakeside then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third over 1m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. Logan Bates gets the best out of this four-year-old mare. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. GREY ICE (3) did a good job last start to finish second at Caulfield Heath over 1m, beaten a neck. Should be at her peak now. Will find this easier. Bold showing expected. EN FLIQUE (4) built on a nice second two starts back at Sandown-Hillside with a win as public elect over 1m1f at Caulfield Heath nine days ago, getting home by 1. 3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. SEAFALL (1) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 2. 5 lengths, over 1m2f at Flemington. Will be putting in the big strides late.
