MR VIVACI (2) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1600m at Moonee Valley. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. NEW YORK SCANDAL (7) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 1.5 lengths back in third over 2040m at Moonee Valley. This is a nice drop in grade so she is a major player. MANHATTAN VIEW (8) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Sandown-Lakeside. Has never missed the frame second up. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. QUEEN BEIRA (5) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within her grasp.
