CYCLONE HARMONY (3) turned in a fine effort to score by a neck at this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. ALMONTI (6) built on a nice third two starts back at Kyneton with a win over 1m2 1/4f at Moonee Valley three weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. EASY DUN (9) ran below expectations last time at Caulfield, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at 13/2. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. AWESOME LINEUP (11) has been in good form, scoring three back at Cranbourne then placing twice in a row, most recently when second over 1m at Moonee Valley. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.
