BARBY'S DOLL (9) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when third over 6f at Caulfield, beaten 4 lengths. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves plenty of thought. SUBSIX (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. SHINY NEW DEEL (4) is a talented gelding who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 10 lengths behind Snow Patrol over 7f in the G2 Autumn Stakes at Caulfield. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Capable of going well. REWARDS AND MORE (2) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by a long neck over 6f here last time out. In form and worth including.
