EL AWOMAN (2) turned in another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to finish second over 1660m at Hamilton. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. DOCTOR GO JOH (7) ran fourth last start at Hamilton over 1660m, beaten 11 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. LIVERMERE (8) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1780m at Mt Gambier. Should run a big race. WATCH IT HAPPEN (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at Mt Gambier.
