Open race. NICOLINI VITO (4) is always a strong chance in these sorts of races, and was good last start at Listed level in Adelaide over 1200m. Better suited over this trip with the second to Gentleman Roy three badck reading very well. BANK MAUR (8) stuck on very well fresh behind Another Wil at Caulfield. Got the right run there but should take catching again. DEVOTED (13) was sound behind Pericles last week and has the ability to figure. HOLYMANZ (5) presents third up and can be an improver. MAKRAM (7) won at this track and trip first-up last time in at $151. He can run well.
