Genuine pace headed by Prevailed who should kick up along the paint. LEGIO TEN (1) is flying and looks well placed again having won his past two, far too good from midfield in a handy BM66 at Pakenham when last seen. Up slightly in grade again now but finds another nice race and can get the job done. CHERISH ME (13) presents third up having run two solid races in good 3yo company this time in, not far away out to this trip at Caulfield last time. She'll be hard to hold out. Not sure what to do with THEBELMONTGANGSTER (11) who has been awful in both runs this time in. Too dry first up, too wet second up? Maybe he gets it just right today but take on trust. NEARING LIBERTY (4) resumes with some handy figures that say he can measure up fresh. PREVAILED (9) is some query at 1400m but will be up on speed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Legio Ten to win.
