SPIRIT OF MAC (4) finished second over 1050m at Gold Coast Poly at his most recent appearance on July 27. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Toby Edmonds & Stephen McLean. Has ability and should be right in the finish. KEENAN (1) is returning from a spell of nine weeks. Finished 11th at Flemington over 1100m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Billy Healey. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Deagon trial. Leading hope and should be tough to stop. IPHIMEDIA (11) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1000m at Tamworth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot return to winning ways. DIVINE GEM (9) ran below her best last start when beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Can do much better.
