EVERAIN (1) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fourth over 1m in the Silver Bowl Final at Flemington. Drops back in journey this time. Rates highly this line up and worth another chance. NIMBUSTWOTHOUSAND (3) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 5½f at Bendigo two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2.2.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can win again. BETWITCHERY (6) finished fourth two runs back at Caulfield then improved last time out to score by a nose as favourite after being in contention on the corner over 7f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can make it back-to-back wins. LARIO (7) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 7f at Flemington, beaten 2.5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role.
