THE BRILL BUILDING (4) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing tenth over 6f at Morphettville most recently. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. OLIVIA'S SCANDAL (14) improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at Swan Hill with success over 6½f at Wangaratta three weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. VIA VEGAS (5) finished 6 lengths adrift in tenth last time at Benalla in a disappointing performance. Going up a level this time but he good enough to play a major role. DIVINE TURF (10) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a lay-off last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.4 lengths over 5½f at Stawell. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again.
