DUNBELIEVIN' (5) finished 4 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1m1/2f at Geelong when when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in journey. Settles back early but winds up late. Will prove hard to hold out. MORNINGTON PIER (7) finished 4.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1m at Moonee Valley three weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Settles back early but winds up late. Leading contender. MERCANTE (9) missed the placings when resuming recently but was not too far from the winner when sixth over 1m at Kilmore. Among the winning hopes. RICK'S CAFE (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Moonee Valley over 1m2 1/4f after she was well back on straightening. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
