A LOT OF LUVIN (6) continued a string of wins and placings last time out when runner-up at Menangle, beaten 4.2 metres in the NSW Bred 3YO Final. Scored from this same barrier here two back. Top chance APPLIED (7) continues a run of second row draws but is going well from there with a win and four placings from his last five outings. Proven at this circuit and distance. Strong claims. MISTER BRILLANTE (2) hasn't had the best of luck since winning three back at Newcastle. Races well here and is likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. WATTOSBLAZEOFGLORY (1) scored from a wide barrier two back at Bathurst and won his only attempt at this circuit and distance so rates as a player from the ace draw.
