CRACKER DANCE (11) comes here off a last-start seventh, beaten 3 lengths, over 1m at Warwick Farm. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from five starts. Leading player. MAYFAIR HOTEL (12) is going well, scoring by 1.4 lengths two runs back at Albury before finishing fourth last time over 1m at Albury. Leading contender. JAYZEAL (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 7f134yards contest at Moonee Valley a week-and-a-half ago. Amy O'driscoll gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is sure to be prominent. TESTING THE CUGAT (4) was beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth in a 1m3 1/4f contest at Geelong at his latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.
