EPICE DIEU (6) was in the money two starts back at Geelong but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 1.75 lengths, at Ballarat over 7f after being in contention on the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. DRY FIRE (5) was an impressive winner last time over 6f at Ballarat, scoring by 2.25 lengths to make it two on the bounce. No reason he cannot add to the picket fence. MERE MORSEL (8) turned in a decent effort last start when he worked home well to finish third over 5¾f at Geelong. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. WRITTEN ROYALTY (9) ran a better race last start, finishing 3 lengths away in fourth over 6½f at this track. No surprise to see him in contention.
