KEITEL (10) finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at Colac two-and-a-half weeks ago as 2/5 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Up a notch here but should be in the finish. LETHAL THOUGHTS (7) last appeared when he finished ninth over 1m in the Silver Bowl Final at Flemington on July 1. Lines up. For the first time for trainer ciaron maher. One of the genuine hopes in the race. EYE OF THE EAGLE (14) fitter for the when resuming run over 6f at Moonee Valley, finishing 0.9 lengths from the winner. Generally runs well second up and is expected to run well. CORONATION KEITH (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Moonee Valley, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
