PRESSER comes off a solid effort, beaten 2.3 lengths in 4th behind Sneaky Sunrise at Caulfield in a BM84 last time. He draws a gate and looks hard to beat here. RHINOCEROS is a 10-time winner who was placed in the Camperdown Cup last time out and back on January 17 and has jumped-out well since. He gets the inside gate and looks the danger. Fellow Victorian ANGRY SKIES has a win and a placing from three starts here and was well beaten first-up at Caulfield and can improve here. BAMYAN BUDDHA has been racing well, winning at Murray Bridge two runs back, and then he took late ground off World’s My Oyster here last time. He gets a good claim and should be in the mix.

INTELLECTUAL looked a talented horse in his first preparation and was solid first-up when beaten 0.33 lengths behind an in-form Violet Lovebug. He’s fitter, draws out, but should give this a shake.

SASSY FOR SURE was $3.30-$2.45 when beaten 1.52 lengths in that race and was an impressive trial winner prior, and should go well.

HOOKED ON WEALTH has been in the money at seven of 11 starts here and was strong from the back when beaten 0.3 lengths in 3rd in the Daisydoo race. He draws out and should be fighting this out. BRISTLER also comes through that race and was beaten 0.25 lengths, he’ll be handy from a good barrier.

He’ll need a touch of luck from a sticky gate but looks perfectly placed. MR WATERVILLE is a well-travelled stayer now with Clayton Douglas and he produced an eye-catching return beaten 0.41 behind Active Duty in the Colac Cup over 2000m. He was 4th in last year’s Brisbane Cup over the 3200m and is going to appreciate the rise in trip. SAMUEL LANGHORNE is a multiple winner over the 2400m-2500m trips in Melbourne and was good when beaten 4.1 lengths behind Stylish Secret over 2400m at Caulfield last time. HIGHLAND BLING is lightly-raced and only won two of his 13 starts, but comes off a solid effort beaten 3.9 lengths in 5th behind Ambassadorial at Caulfield.

ARKDAN was massive odds when beaten 11.37 lengths behind Saint George at Flemington last time and has jump-out well since. EL JAMES comes off an impressive 2.22 length win in the Naracoorte Cup last time out and he’s more than capable of stepping up to a race like this. Stablemate KHOR was another who was good late when beaten 2.66 lengths in the Colac Cup behind Active Duty. Symon Wilde also has MY UNCLE DID IT who has been runner-up at three of his past four but will need a host of scratchings to gain a start. COORONG TYCOON comes off a return to winning form after a last-stride win on the Parks track last weekend, he’ll need a scratching to gain a start but is a progressive stayer.
