MANTUA (5) placed when resuming at Caulfield Heath but could only manage seventh last time, beaten 3 lengths, over 5f on turf at Sandown-Lakeside. First try on synthetic. Sure to be prominent. TOOMPINE (3) continued the great form last start, scoring by a neck at this track over this trip. Among the leading chances again. AREZZO (8) resumes after a break of five months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 6f at Geelong. Will strip fitter following a recent trial win. One of the genuine hopes in the race. IL CUBO (7) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 7f at Bendigo ten weeks ago. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and is one of the better hopes.
