Perfectly Good is the likely leader and should be able to get there comfortably. DISTILLERY (1) progressive gelding starting to put it all together as he steps up in trip. Failed narrowly in a thrilling finish to run second over 2246m at Seymour in BM62 class. Well placed to return to winning form. THE SWEENEY (5) complete mystery last time out with a dismal last over 1950m at Yarra Valley. Since fitted with a 1000m trial at Wagga. Assess on his good win three-back over 2100m at Echuca. KING EDWARD (2) former SA-trained galloper who hung out badly for the new yard with a fading fifth over 2200m at the Sapphire Coast. Good effort two back at Oakbank and since fitted with a 900m trial. Can return to form and Keatings' retains the ride. HELLS SPIRIT (6) holding his form this prep and steps up to this trip for the first time. Gripped on late with a respectable fourth over 1600m at this track. Stays in the calculations despite drawing out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Distillery looks too good for these.
