OPENING ADDRESS (2) clearly looks the one to beat. He ran last week in the G2 Moonee Valley Vase and tried hard behind Red Aces, only edged out late. That's the best last-start performance coming in and he now gets McDonald on. STATUARIO (3) won two in a row before heading to a handy 3yo race at Caulfield and sticking on well for fourth. Out to 1800m here looks ideal. PLYMOUTH (8) is another very much suited to 1800m when starting hard in the market at Caulfield and plugging away. He's by The Autumn Sun and lightly raced. CECCHETTI (12) is still a maiden but ran well for fourth in the Hill Smith Stakes and that form should hold up well. VIANARRA (1) has been okay in some good races of late and wouldn't shock.

Last start 7th of 9 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Vase on October 26 over 2040m, 3.5 len behind Red Aces with 57kg at $7. The start before that eased back early on 7th of 11 at Caulfield in the G1 Caul Guineas on October 12 over 1600m, 4 len behind Private Life carrying 57kg at $201. Just fair last time but finds the right race here.
Useful gelding. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Vase on October 26 over 2040m, neck behind Red Aces with 57kg at $7.50. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Sale Bm64 on October 9 over 1740m, 4.5 len behind Freight Train with 57kg at $5. Comes through the A1 form, looks the one to beat.

The race before that won by 0.5 len at Cranbourne 0 - 64 September 19 over 1600m defeating Mornington Pier with 56.5kg at $3.50. Looks nicely suited to this trip now.
Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 1.4 len at Warwick Farm Super Mdn October 7 over 1600m defeating Viktor with 56kg at $11. Before that eased back early on 6th of 12 at Newcastle Cg&E Mdn on September 20 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Rolling Magic carrying 55.5kg at $11. More depth here but must respect trainer/jockey combination.

Most recently 5th of 10 at Caulfield 3yo C&G-Swp on October 19 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 5.5 len behind Getafix carrying 56kg at $26. The start before that sat on the pace before fading 11th of 13 at this track 3yo C&G-Swp on September 22 over 1800m, 6 len behind Stylish Secret with 56kg at $19. Likely to find this out of reach.
