BRULLEN (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7½f at Mornington, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. BONNAROO (3) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth over 1m2f at Ballarat two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. HANDY FRIEND (2) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing fourth over 7f22yards at Werribee five months ago. Fitter for recent trials. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. One of the contenders with the blinkers added. SAKASU (8) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 7f at this track. Big chance to break through.
