The speedy Name Dropper should find the front with Vail Mountain on his heels. Tipping TRUFFLE FINDER (15) can make the jump in grade here. He's placed in three in a row before breaking through for a handy win over a good horse at Cranbourne last time out. Prior to that he was third in a very midweek race here. Drawn wide but with even luck he should go close. NAME DROPPER (16) resumes having won his only start to date at Eagle Farm. Level of improvement the key but he can measure up. RUSSIAN METEOR (11) resumes. He's a nice type who was a neck away in second at Caulfield before a spell. VAIL MOUNTAIN (6) can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Truffle Finder to win.
