Group 2 placegetter KEATS (2) ran seventh at his latest appearance over 1m1/2f at Geelong, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner. Should be in this for a long way. Set Weights OOP DOG (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when ninth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1m4f in the G3 Hobart Cup. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. FIRST ACCUSED (3) was thereabouts last time out when second in the LR Tatt's Thomas Lyons Stakes at Hobart over 7f, beaten half a length. Is in solid form this prep, scoring two wins and a placing from six starts. Should be involved in the finish. JUST A TRIBUTE (8) scored last start in the LR Tatt's Thomas Lyons Stakes at Hobart to make it three wins from six starts this campaign. Going too well to ignore.
