Group 3 placegetter WAVERLEY (5) is yet to break through in 12 runs. Finished seventh after being in contention on the corner at his last appearance over 1m2f at Flemington on June 8. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SAMPHIRE GREEN (3) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1m at Wyong. Has the class to take care of this field. RAZELLA (9) finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m at Hawkesbury after being in contention on the bend three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. PROCEED (1) could only manage to finish tenth, beaten 11 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1m1f at Hawkesbury. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
