MOON AND BACK (1) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 4¾f at Moonee Valley. Has a good record at this journey with four wins from 20 starts. Has the right profile. FRAGILE LOVE (4) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fifth over 5f at Moonee Valley. Should be peaking now and is expected to do much better. ROMANTIC CHOICE (6) finished fifth over 4¾f at Moonee Valley when resuming last start, beaten only 1.1 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has never missed the frame second up. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. THINKING OF GERTY (7) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish ninth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 4¾f at Moonee Valley. Among the chances.
