NADAL (6) finished fourth over 5½f at Flemington when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. SIR Set Weights AY (7) is a distance specialist who missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in eighth over 6f at Moonee Valley. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BEAST MODE (2) held on well to finish second last start over 4¾f at Moonee Valley, beaten half a length. Nicely placed to find winning form. SIXTEEN REASONS (8) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 1.4 lengths over 5¼f at Morphettville. Can figure in the finish.
