WHO DARES (4) is flying of late and gave his all behind a potential Group 1 horse in Jimmysstar at Caulfield last time out. Small query stepping out to the mile but if he holds his rating from last start he looks the one to beat. MAGNASPIN (8) was a surprise winner first up over 1300m before a flat one second up. He's far better suited rising to 1600m third-up and can improve sharply. BELLE SAVOIR (10) made strong improvement second-up over this trip at Moonee Valley. Certainly up to this level and she should go well. UP AND UNDER (6) is a big watch. He's a former Joseph O'Brien horse now with Chris Waller. He was tested in an Irish Derby last time in and has jumped out quite well. GREEN BELT (14) can improve out to a mile third-up.
