Group 3 placegetter PRESS DOWN (7) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 4 lengths over 6f at Swan Hill. Winning rider Neil Farley retains the mount. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. SENEGALIA (6) could only manage eighth last start over 5½f at Caulfield, beaten 4 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at three of six starts. Leading contender. Group 1 placegetter CROSSHAVEN (3) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by half a length over 5½f at this track last time out. Stiffer assignment here but he should be involved in the finish. WHO DARES (4) finished sixth over 5½f at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be thereabouts.
