The Right Way and Cavalry Man will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. DIAMOND SHOW (12) is in red-hot touch and was unlucky not to bring up the hat-trick last time, missing by a head to the hot-pot favourite. Carries a feather and should prove very hard to hold out. CHILLAXING (10) gets significant weight relief and drops back to a trip he relishes. Draws to blend in at the right time and is sure to be very competitive. DIVINE PURPOSE (11) is another lightweight chance. Should have enough speed to offset the tricky draw and race handy. FELIX THE SCAT (3) has been in good form this prep and will appreciate reuniting with Thompson, who piloted him to a strong win two back at Doomben. PRINCE LEVI (5) is going better than his form might read and will relish stepping back out to this trip. Gets his chance in front of the home crowd. CAVALRY MAN (4) is drawn sticky but is another handy gelding who deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Diamond Show to win.

UNLIMITED
CHRIS WALLER 6YO BAY GELDING 60.0KG T M Snow & Racing Fans (Mgr: J L Blight) Eased back from Saturday company after finishing 11th behind Saint George at Caulfield, beaten just over seven lengths on soft ground, with the stewards noting difficulty obtaining clear running near the 300m. He had also been last in a Benchmark 100 at Caulfield Heath after beginning slowly. Needs to lift. |

SUN WORSHIPPER
MATT KROPP 5YO CHESTNUT MARE 58.0KG Ms K S Kropp, Gleeson Thoroughbreds (Mgr: W A Gleeson), R J Carrett, Mrs J Gow, P Yeo & M F Brown Drops from Saturday Open grade after finishing last behind Express Payment at Doomben over 1615m, beaten five and a half lengths, when unwanted in the market and unable to make ground after early trouble. |

FELIX THE SCAT
TONY GOLLAN 6YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG CBR (Mgr: R A M Lightfoot) Ran fifth in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben last start, beaten just under three lengths by Livalittle, after being forced wide late and coming back from 60.5kg to 57kg here. His Benchmark 90 win two back over 2200m, beating Fernao by just over a length, reads strongly for this. Distance win record is the query, but he is right in it. |

CAVALRY MAN
LINDSAY GOUGH 6YO GREY GELDING 56.0KG W W Mumford, T H Taylor & R J Ross Had excuses when sixth to Livalittle in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben, beaten just under three lengths, after racing wide and keenly while still holding his ground. Before that he was third to Felix The Scat in a Benchmark 90 over 2200m and was near the top of betting. A realistic place hope if he settles cleanly. |

PRINCE LEVI
WILLIAM KROPP 5YO BROWN GELDING 56.0KG Ms K S Kropp Finished sixth behind Express Payment in an Open at Doomben over 1615m, beaten just over a length after settling well back and racing keenly early. His Listed Grafton Cup sixth two back was sound, beaten two and a half lengths by King Pedro after covering ground and being checked. Up in trip gives him a place profile. |

THE RIGHT WAY
GREG WRIGHT 7YO B/BR GELDING 54.0KG A C Wright Could not finish off when seventh to Livalittle in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben, beaten just under four lengths, with no clear excuse after being close enough on the turn. He was also safely held by Felix The Scat over 2200m two back. His Toowoomba record is strong, with four wins and two places from eight starts, so he can run into the minor money. |

DEEMEE
EMMA FOUCHARD 6YO BAY MARE 54.0KG Shaky Bloodstock (Mgr: K H Grant) Second-up after finishing eighth in a Class 3 at Gold Coast over 1800m, beaten just under six lengths, when she was well back and only fair through the line. Her prior run was a long-distance Benchmark 90 at Warrnambool where she was well beaten at long odds. Needs a major turnaround. |

OUR TURN NOW

The counterpoint is his Benchmark 60 win at Toowoomba two back, when favourite and beating Haberfield by a length and a half. Improvement needed. |

CHILLAXING
TONY GOLLAN 6YO CHESTNUT GELDING 53.0KG Australian Bloodstock, TBA Syndicate, R Portaro, J A Rohde, D D Singh, J A Bellamy, King Park Racing, F J Biviano, D S Smart, C J Dawson, Y S Woo, Ms K J Broadbent, J Nicholas, M J Humphreys, World Series Group, B Colley, S Luders, Just Family, I Gustafson Continued a consistent preparation when third to Artful Girl in a Benchmark 78 at Eagle Farm over 2400m, beaten three and a half lengths after working home well. He had won the same grade and trip there two back, edging Benzino by a nose. Back to 2000m with 53kg looks a strong set-up. |

DIVINE PURPOSE
DESLEIGH FORSTER 7YO BAY MARE 52.0KG L Y Morgan Ran fourth to Livalittle in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben, beaten just under two lengths, after covering ground and being hampered late. That followed a decisive NMW win at Eagle Farm over 1800m, beating Think Like Paddy by just under two lengths at generous odds. With 52kg, she remains a serious chance. |
13 ROBBIE DOLAN |

DIAMOND SHOW
CHRIS & COREY MUNCE 5YO BAY MARE 52.0KG Summertime Thoroughbreds (Mgr: J J Cordina) Went within a neck of Livalittle in a Benchmark 85 at Doomben, with that second placing coming after minor interference and confirming her strong current form. She had won a Benchmark 80 over 2200m there two back, beating Fernao by a long neck. Airborne and only needs to hold her form to be right there again. |

ARTFUL GIRL
KEVIN KEMP 7YO B/BR MARE 52.0KG Rumbles Rural (Mgr: Ms J E Kirley) Backs up after finishing seventh to Demarcay at Gold Coast over 2200m, beaten four lengths, with interference near the 400m adding some context. The run prior was a Benchmark 78 win at Eagle Farm over 2400m, where she beat Captain Maverick by half a length. Last run had some interference, so she stays in the place mix. |

He had also been safely held by Felix The Scat in a Benchmark 90 two back over 2200m. Needs to turn form around quickly. |

SUPER FAIR
MARK CALLAGHAN 6YO BAY MARE 52.0KG M E Callaghan Arrives in form after winning a Benchmark 68 at Doomben by a head from Iconify, working home over the top at generous odds. She had been beaten a head by Power Pack at Ipswich in a Benchmark 65 before that, finishing strongly after beginning slowly. This is tougher, but she has the right place credentials. |
