ROULETTE KING (2) kicked off this prep with a win two-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring over 7f at Ballarat. Among the top chances. CROCODILE (3) is a talented gelding who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 4. 5 lengths behind Single Choice over 1m1f in the G2 Autumn Classic at Caulfield. Finds a suitable race and is sure to be prominent. BERTRAND (8) saluted at Hanging Rock two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when prominent at the turn before finishing second over 1m1f at Horsham, beaten half a length. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. RUSSIAN DUCHESS (12) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1m at Caulfield Heath. That followed a win at Geelong the start prior. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
