MOONHAVEN (7) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 5f at Flemington last time out. Goes very well at this journey with two wins to his name. Should be getting home hard and is sure to be tough to beat. TAUNTING (3) returns from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when ninth over 5½f in the LR Hills Railway (Oakbank) Stakes. Good record at this journey with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts and should prove tough to beat. KEEP READING (4) finished fifth last start over 5½f at Morphettville after racing on the pace for much of the way. Must be included among the main hopes. Group 3 placegetter ACROMANTULA (1) finished seventh over 5½f in the G3 Roma Cup at Ascot at his most recent appearance on April 6. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
