Most of these have genuine claims. CRUEL SUMMER (1) gets the nod after his decisive win last start in a similar race to this at Canterbury. Goes up 2kgs but still has improvement to come at the third run of the campaign. The inside gate is key to his chances. SIZZLER (6) has been impressive on the provincial circuit this prep. Stalked the leading division then proved far too good last time out over 1300m at Kembla. Rock hard fit and can take this next step. MOSGOLD (9) improved last start when just outside the placings in an open sprint at Wagga. Has an outstanding record at or around today's journey. Ready to find form at the fourth run back. BEOUR BAY (2) missed the kick before being beaten under two lengths in Saturday company at Moonee Valley recently. Loves it wet and handles this way of going. Major player. IVAN'S HERO (5) has been in the money four of five when fresh from a spell so keep him safe off a three-month break.
