MUNHAMEK (13) continues to front up and race well. Turns around quickly from last week where he was as good as he has been all campaign and he looks well placed on the back of that rating. No reason to think that he drops away now. DAYTONA BAY (14) had no luck first up. Ran well all the same and remains a horse on his way to better races. This race is exactly that but he can win it. Just a starting point for UNCLE BRYN (4) but he can win it as well. Loved the Cranbourne Cup win before a break and he wasn't bad fresh in the Lawrence last campaign. SCALLOPINI (3) was left with too much to do last time. Back to Melbourne onto the bigger track now suits. He should be more positive from out wide this time.
