Group 2 placegetter HOLYMANZ (5) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fifth over 7f134yards at Moonee Valley after he got a long way back. Has further improvement to come and is ready to win. Group 2 placegetter DEVOTED (13) ran below expectations last time out when eighth over 7½f at Moonee Valley. With better gate manners can make amends. Group 2 placegetter NICOLINI VITO (4) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 7f in the LR Penny Edition Stakes at Morphettville Parks. One of the main contenders. Group 2 winner BANK MAUR (8) showed good early dash at the first run after a lay-off last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 0.6 lengths away in third over 7f at Caulfield. Can feature in the finish.
