FILTHY HABITS (3) has been making solid progress through the grades this year and gave nothing else a chance when leading all the way to win a good race at Albany nearly a fortnight ago. He is ready to take the next step, and with 5kg less to carry, he can get the job done again. CURRIMUNDI (1) won the Pinjarra Cup by a head in his penultimate start and then may have needed his last start here in this grade over 1800m 15 days ago. He has less time between starts leading into this assignment, and he can bounce straight back into the money. IOWA (2) set the pace here last time out and was only run down inside the final furlong. He has won 3 of his 5 starts third up in the past, and is ready to win again at short notice. BLAZING AWAY (6) has yet to fire this year but does have a good record on this track over 2100m. He is down in weight and a form reversal would not be a big shock.
