GELLHORN (9) registered her first win last start over 7½f at Caulfield Heath, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Ethan Brown was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. BENAGIL (8) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when seventh, beaten 6 lengths, over 7f in the G2 Angus Armanasco Stakes at this track. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. PERFECT PICTURE (10) finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 7f at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Can play a big role. ATHANATOS (2) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.8 lengths of the winner in second last start over 7½f at Sandown-Hillside. Daniel Stackhouse has registered five minor placings when on board. Don't underestimate.
