GOLDRUSH GURU (1) did well last time to finish fifth over 1m2f in the G3 Chairman's Stakes at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Won at his only start at this longer journey. The testing material. STATUARIO (2) returns from a short break after winning over 1m4f in the LR Galilee Series Final at Caulfield four weeks ago. Shouldn't lack fitness after a recent Pakenham trial placing. Rates well and looks a definite each-way chance. FEMMINILE (15) finished 3.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1m2f at this track a week ago. Steps up in journey. Leading hope. POLITELY DUN (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m4f at Caulfield, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
