HIGHLAND EIGHTGEE (10) wasn't far away at Hawkesbury last time out and will find this a little easier than races he's contested recently. Out in trip looks ideal for him now and he maps to be prominent throughout from the draw. This looks his race. VANOOSA (2) gets the blinkers on first time today after just a fair effort on debut at Hawkesbury. Right out in trip now and he'll be better for the debut effort. Looks to have class and can put himself in the finish. EPIC STATEMENT (6) will be prominent in the run for a long way if he gets back to his best. MAD HARRY (1) has been good from the back lately and will appreciate the extra journey.
