MONTEFIORE (1) came from a much wider barrier when he won at this circuit last month and hasn't been far away in any of his starts since. Runner-up in this grade the last time he drew on the pegs. Could go one better tonight. HUGO MAGUIRE (3) hit his peak when delivering a third-up win at Penrith last start. This is stronger but he had enough speed to lead from wider there so can take advantage of this favourable draw. ALTA SIERRA (2) is racing in good form having come from this barrier to win his last two starts, last time getting home by 1.6m at this circuit. Should enjoy the favours again. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (5) overcame a wide barrier when finding winning form at Wagga last week and is proven at this longer distance. GUILTY PARTY (6) draws wider than last week but there was merit in that effort to place and he goes well at the distance.
