DON'T HOPE DO (7) was a winner in a at Ballarat then was competitive last time when fourth over 5f at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten only one length. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. WINNASEDGE (9) came home soundly to finish sixth when resuming over 5f at Sandown-Lakeside last time out. Among the leading chances. CHINQUI (11) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 1.3 lengths over 5½f at Caulfield Heath. One of the main contenders. LEGIO TEN (5) finished fourth over 6f at Flemington when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
