BIG ME (2) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at the last couple of runs but starting to prove costly. Rates highly here and gets chance to break through. SOJU (4) tackled city class latest when fourth at Moonee Valley, finishing 2 lengths from the winner. Faces a far less daunting assignment this time. Best form puts her right in this. REAL GUN (1) did little and finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1112m at Benalla last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Wangaratta the run before. Is unbeaten in two starts at this course and distance. Likely improver with strong prospects. BIG DAY OUT (3) was last at the races when he finished sixth over 1000m at Wagga on November 1. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with four minor placings. Can make his presence felt.
