PACIFIC CROSS (6) was beaten just a nose last start when second in a small field over 6f at this track at the first run of the campaign. Strong record with Daniel Stackhouse in the irons, including a win. Among the leading chances. SOCIALLY SASSY (7) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner in third last start over 6f at this track when fresh from a lay-off. Among the leading chances. HIGH TOR (3) finished 1.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track after being prominent at the turn two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. ELOPED (10) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Moonee Valley, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
