GARCON D'ESPOIR (7) tackled the Bill Stutt Stakes over 1m at Moonee Valley last time out when fresh from a lay-off and was beaten 5 lengths into sixth by Evaporate. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. ZULU ANGEL (1) continues to race well with a win in a at Devonport Synthetic before finishing a nose away in second last time over 1m2 1/2f at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. METAVERSE (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Devonport Synthetic two starts back then scored by a nose last time out over 1m2 1/2f at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CLIFTON DANSEUR (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 1m2 1/2f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
