CAELIUS (7) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when 1. 3 lengths away in second over 1m at this track. Among the leading chances. HORATIUS (10) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 7½f at Mornington, beaten 2. 25 lengths into sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MOONBOLT (5) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fourth over 7f at Cranbourne. Outdashed but got home well and the longer journey looks ideal. Must be included. KING TAGALOA (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m2 1/4f at Mornington, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
