LONG GENES (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Bunbury, beaten 4 lengths. Has a perfect second up record from two starts including last prep when successful over 7½f at Hawkesbury. Strips fitter and can feature. WOZZECK (9) finished sixth two runs back at Belmont Park then improved last time out to score by a nose over 7½f at York when he came with a powerful finish. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. TRULY RELIABLE (4) last appeared on June 22 when a good fifth over 1m3f at Belmont Park, beaten 2 lengths. Among the better hopes. QUEEN NARDI (7) has been in the placings at her last two appearances, finishing second over 7f at Geraldton most recently. Sure to be competitive.
