EVAPORATE (5) returned last time with a solid second at Ballarat Synthetic over 5½f. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to make a big impact. KHABALOV (6) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. DETROIT CITY (1) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 4 lengths win over 6f at Wodonga last time. Among the main hopes. SCOUNDREL (2) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by a head over 6½f at Kembla Grange last start. In form and another bold showing is on the cards.
