SCORCHING (3) is yet to miss the placings in three starts, including two wins. Has not been produced since he scored over 1m1/2f at this track on October 6. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. MANSETTI (5) could only manage fifth last start over 7f at Listed level at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at three of five starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. MEGALODON (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Solid top-three chance. CHURCH AND STATE (2) was an impressive when resuming winner last time out in an easier race over 7f in Listed grade at this track, getting home by half a length.
