DEEPFLOAT DIVA (11) got too far back again last start but was strong through the line. Has built nicely into this and should be peaking. His best has their measure. SIR NOW (7) was too good for a fair few of these last start, including Deepfloat Diva. Carries more weight this time but is a talented type that is drawn well again. Obvious danger. CHEERSTOTHAT (10) made an immediate impact for the new stable when resuming, scoring convincingly at Cranbourne. He boasts an outstanding record at this trip and while this is a deeper contest, his turn of foot makes him a genuine threat once again. LA DEFENSE (5) was outstanding first-up at Flemington, returning from a 462-day spell with a powerful late surge to just miss. Had excuses last start in G3 company, never getting into the race. Freshened up with a five-week break and kept ticking over with a trial. Expect a sharp improvement. VINTAGE STAR (9) didn’t show his best when resuming but will strip fitter for the outing. Has the talent.
