ADDRIEL (10) scored at Eagle Farm last time out with 1.5 lengths to spare over this journey. Has a good record at this trip with three wins and three placings. Rates highly and should go well. STANDING ORDER (9) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 6f at Eagle Farm. Sure to make his presence felt. AMIGO (16) returns from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fifth at Caulfield over 5f when when resuming last time in work. Placed in a recent trial. One of the genuine hopes in the race. HATCHET (1) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at Eagle Farm. Boasts a when resuming record of two wins and three placings from six starts. Worth plenty of thought.
