THE MUFFIN MAN (5) steps up to 2000m for the first time having stuck on well behind Athanatos at Flemington last time out. That form has worked out well in Adelaide and if Ethan Brown can slide across with minimal fuss he should take catching. OXFORD BLUE (3) gets to 2000m now which should suit. He's going well, just fancy he wants a stronger staying test. Shinn on is a positive. HURRY CURRY (2) wasn't bad last time and should be suited to this trip. JENNI YOU THINK (8) has only raced twice and there's definite upside to come.
