RUSHFORD (3) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at Berrigan with a win over 5f185yards at Wangaratta two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after he came with a powerful finish. Tackling a more suitable race so he is perfectly placed to score again. RIVALDO (6) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 6½f at Wangaratta on June 20. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SPACE COWBOY (7) finished second last time over 6f at Mansfield, beaten a nose. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. MORE TO SEE (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 5f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
