DEAKIN (3) showed good pace and went on to score by 5.5 lengths last time out over 1m4 1/2f in the LR Night Cup at Moonee Valley. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MOSTLY CLOUDY (6) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.9 lengths adrift in third over 1m4f at Caulfield. Tougher company here but he is expected to run well. BERKSHIRE BREEZE (9) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 1m2f at this track. SMOKIN' ROMANS (1) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1m2f at this track only to fade late and finish sixth. Worth including.
