MR VERSE (2) started at 9/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 3. 5 lengths at this track over 1m2f. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. NEARING LIBERTY (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1m1/4f at Flemington after being in contention on the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. JUSTADEEL (5) is racing well, scoring in a at Sandown-Lakeside before finishing 2. 25 lengths from the winner in third last time over 7f at Sandown-Hillside. One of the contenders again. NATION'S CALL (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Fitter so a likely improver.
