FROM A DISTANCE (5) is a horse with some upside having won well on debut at Donald before being pitched right up in a good 3yo race at Warrnambool, getting back and finding the line nicely to be beaten narrowly. Drops a long way back in grade here and has more to come. Rates highly. BARBIE'SDREAMWORLD (14) ran a better race last time over 1700m having tackled a G3 race prior in Adelaide. She'll be strong late over this trip. WATERSPORTS (11) struggled last time in a strong race won by Madiyya. Her run prior when second at Flemington goes a long way to winning this. SHUBAEL (15) broke through for a narrow maiden win last time and may be able to go on with it now while BIDEN TIME (1) can improve off a poor one last time as a $2.60 chance.
