Group 3 placegetter END ASSEMBLY (6) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing sixth over 1m in the G3 Gunsynd Classic at Eagle Farm ten months ago. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Winkers come off for return and rates highly here fresh. PANTELONE (14) got the job done last start at Sandown-Lakeside over this distance. Has never been out of the money in four starts at this trip, including two wins. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. MASTER MONTARO (16) disappointed last time when 11th over 7f at Flemington after a close third at Flemington the run prior. Freshened up so capable of a return to form. ANILLA (3) turned in a better run last start at the second run of the prep, beaten 2 lengths into fourth over 7f at Oakbank. No surprise to see him in contention.
