OLD FLAME (8) ran really well in the Shannon up in Sydney before missing around Caulfield last time. Got into an awkward spot there and things just didn't pan out. Can be much better than that this time. CROSSHAVEN (5) ran a nice race first up at 1200m and tipping he was set to peak at the 1400m in this. Ideal trip and he is a good horse on his day. 1400m is the right spot for TURAATH (7) as well and she was back near the top of her game winning at Geelong. That sets her up to peak now and that goes close. SINAWANN (1) was okay last time. He may be looking for more ground now but he has the talent. PRIDE OF JENNI (15) will be up on speed. She was solid in the Tristarc and has the ratings to measure up.
