Whatta Man should lead and dictate terms. There'd be SET ME FREE (9) backers out there still having nightmares after she went under at $1.40 last start but the horse who beat her was no duffer and connections could not have hoped to find a better event for her to bounce back. If anything, she'll be better for the added experience and, being by Shamus Award out of a two-time 3200m winner, will relish the step up to 2000m. WHATTA MAN (4) was in the firing line early and finished third last time over 1600m at Seymour, albeit beaten 6 lengths. The first-up run was adequate and he'll be better for the experience at 2000m last prep. COLOUR CIRCLE (1) could only manage only fourth over 2000m at Pakenham last start but did have support at a massive price and will be at peak fitness here, fourth up. WOOLF'S PRIZE (11) has been building fitness this prep, will relish the step up in trip and has the edge of being trained here. LILLARD (5) is ready for 2000m and will appreciate firmer footing than his past two. SUGGESTED PLAY: Set Me Free to win.
