STARSPANGLED BABY (2) finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m at Moonee Valley after being prominent at the turn two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Faces a far less daunting assignment this time. Will be hard to stop. AKROTIRI (3) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1m2f at Flemington, beaten 4.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. That followed a win at Moonee Valley at the previous outing. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. DON'T DOUBT DORY (1) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1m4 1/2f at Moonee Valley, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Hard to knock. DUBAI MOON (5) ran well below his best last time over 1m4 1/2f at Moonee Valley, beaten 13 lengths into ninth at 7/2. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Deserves respect on best figures.
