HIGHNESS (3) returned to winning ways last time out, running away with an impressive 7 lengths win over 3300m at Warrnambool. Up in the weights but combines again with Tom Ryan and looks sure to measure up. GRAN CABALLO (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 2400m at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him. STAR TESTYMONY (1) tackled city class last start when eighth over 2400m at Sandown-Hillside. Winkers are removed for this. Rates among the leading chances. OCTAHEDRON (5) was below his best last time when eighth over 2200m at Ararat, beaten 10 lengths. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
