WHISTLEFIELD (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 5f at Warrnambool. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. SHESALLSHENANIGANS (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 5½f at Caulfield. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. PANTELONE (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 5½f at Caulfield. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. ICARUS (10) won on debut last time out six-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Winning claims on best figures.
