HETTINGER (6) gave a bold sight at the latest appearance over 1m at Moonee Valley but dropped out to finish sixth. Strong record with Aaron Sweeney aboard, including two wins. Leading contender. THAT'S JUSTIFIED (1) has found the frame at both starts this prep, the latest when second over 7f at this track. Has a solid record at the third run in so he is among the winning hopes. FANTASY EAGLE (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 7f at this track. Cherry-ripe now and will be tough to beat. VENTING (3) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
