Not the prettiest map for CASCADIAN (1) but he is no stranger to that. He gets back and always needs his share of luck but he is a terrific horse and in the past 18 months he has done his share of winning. Landed several good races when they have presented for him and this is right in his wheelhouse on the quick turnaround from last week. NONCONFORMIST (4) put up a big performance winning the Blamey and is only better suited out to 2000m now. He must have a great shot. MO'UNGA (3) was a touch plain last week but was well fancied there off the close up third to Anamoe second up. That reads well. RIGHT YOU ARE (9) is in terrific form and comes here having won a key lead up along with his stablemate STEINEM (14) who must also hold a nice chance.
