DIWALI (3) stepped up to this journey last time in tougher company at Sandown and hit the line hard to finish second in a photo. Looks really well placed here on that run and expected to go close. MICKIO (5) is another close to a win. After a solid return has been runner-up last two, the latest over 2809m at Kyneton. Genuine and gets chance. TURFIE (9) started favourite and won two back then was well fancied again but a little below par last time. Ready for the longer trip now and rates highly on best figures. LUCKYHELEFT (1) ran an improved race second-up when out in journey and worth noting is a third-up winner. Extra trip ideal and looks ready to find best. LANDGRAVE (4) has been racing in much tougher grade lately and not beaten far. Comes back a notch or two and can find some winning form.
