Verdict

PRESSER (2) is well placed to win. Won a Mornington Open three back and after disappointing when well supported in the Kilmore Cup, finished within range at Caulfield Heath 28 days ago in a 78. A senior hoop goes aboard and the mile is his sweet spot. OCEAN BEYOND (1) is a live chance following his comfortable win in a Warrnambool Open 3. This fellow is Group 3 placed and Yendall replaces Hill, who rides the above. MISTER ME (8) was beaten 1.3L behind the above at Warrnambool when riding the speed. Will hit this at peak fitness and can feature with average luck crossing over from an awkward barrier. ACTIVE DUTY (7) will be fitter and is right up to this at best. Proven second-up and the in-form Meech will position him forward. NEW YORK HURRICANE (4) will be fitter and won't have to improve much to make the finish.
