LUNCIES (4) carried 59kg and worked home well in the G3 Bendigo Cup last start. The winner there has since run a very good sixth in the Melbourne Cup and Luncies should be at peak fitness now fourth up. Rates highly, looks a big chance. MURAMASA (9) is a very progressive son of Deep Impact who took out the G3 Coongy Cup second up. Quickly up in trip here but stays on the minimum and off his breeding he'll have no issue. DUKE DE SESSA (2) has been tackling some strong races this time in and wasn't disgraced in the G1 Caulfield Cup last time. That form is the best in the country, he should be hard to beat in this. AMADE (5) won the G3 Geelong Cup in a bunched finish last time out. Skipped the Melbourne Cup and must have a strong case in this. LADIES MAN (1) can improve.
