STEEL RUN (2) was well held last time in stakes class, finishing seventh over 1m5f in the LR Roy Higgins Quality at Flemington. Blinkers go on. Looks a top chance. JARETH (4) finished 1. 75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1m2f at Caulfield after being in contention on the corner three weeks ago as 7/2 favourite. Steps up in distance. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. HOUDINI (6) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by a long neck over 1m2 1/2f at Sandown-Lakeside. Solid winning hope. MERCHANT FLYER (8) is close to a win after a sequence of strong results, the latest when third over 1m2f at Caulfield. Among the leading chances.
