DELIVERING (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Sandown-Hillside, finishing second and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 7f. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. NEW YORK SCANDAL (11) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten only a nose. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. ROMAJI (7) missed the placings two runs back then was never in contention last start when 11 lengths away in 11th over 7f at Seymour. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. POLANCO (2) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 7f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten one length. Will be rock-hard fit. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
