VENDEMMIA (5) hadn't been far away prior to finishing 12 lengths adrift in eighth last start over 7¼f at Geelong. Takes on a tougher assignment but is capable of featuring. DELIVERING (1) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Produced another good performance at his most recent run when second over 7¼f at Geelong. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. MISSILE GIRL (9) was beaten 2.75 lengths into third at Pakenham Synthetic two starts ago then finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at Pakenham Synthetic. Settles off the speed. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. GIDDY UP WARRIOR (11) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 5½f at Bendigo. Open to plenty of improvement.
