RICK'S CAFE (2) was not disgraced in city class last time when fifth at Moonee Valley but back to home course this time. Meets easier opposition this time. Will be hard to stop. GALLOPING GURU (3) continued the encouraging form and wasn't far away last time when third over 1m3f at Hamilton. The longer journey should suit and he gets his chance to break through. JUST BERRILLIANT (1) hasn't raced since a win at Ballarat over 1m5f five weeks ago. Ticking over well with a subsequent trial win at Traralgon. Winning claims on best figures. HEIR TO THE THRONE (4) returned from a lay-off three days ago when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1m2 1/2f at Moe. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
