MOZU MARCASSIN (5) started this prep with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before winding up in sixth over 2000m at Caulfield, beaten 2.5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to make amends. CHASING APHRODITE (2) has been thereabouts, most recently when 0.6 lengths from the winner in second over 2150m at Oakbank. Extra trip a plus; among the main hopes. AFFLUENTIAL (7) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest failed to finish at Pakenham over 3200m. Worth another chance. ST VINCENTS GARDEN (8) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Bendigo over 2400m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player.
