MALIBU (1) has been course placed. Has not gone a poor race in her career so far. Top tier must in this line-up. VANRIO (4) is an improver in this at third start. Trialled okay more than once before his debut. Quinella and trifecta chance in this field. LOVE LEIGH (7) she is an improver on her debut effort for fifth. The rise to 1650m will help her chances no end and can pay a dividend in this. AFTERTHOUGHT (5) is better than she showed on debut. Trial fifth since and is not out of this. HEZA MONTY (2) is a gelding by Mongolian Khan making his first appearance. Twice trialled for a win and a second. Dam has left Shining Peak (1 win). Chance here.
