PARIAH PEARL (3) was a most impressive winner last time over 1m at Pakenham, scoring by 3 lengths. Will find this tougher but is capable of featuring. Group 3 placegetter NODACHI (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 6½f after being in contention on the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MATAWAI (5) finished 3.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6½f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. One of the contenders with the blinkers added. FURLANETTO (1) was a winner over 1m at Sandown-Lakeside last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by a head. In form and worth including.
