Both Mellencamp and The Lupercal have early speed, while Swanbrook Gem can also race handy. SWANBROOK GEM (7) scored a popular win here last time and continued her good form at this track. Drawn to get a nice run again and hard to beat. THE LUPERCAL (2) found his best with a strong win at Moree from on the pace last week. Capable of going on with it. SPIRIT OF PLUTO (4) charged home from the back to win here two weeks ago under a big weight. Up in class but drawn soft and has claims. CHOICE WITNESS (5) and THE AFFIRMATIVE (10) are place hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swanbrook Gem each-way.
