SHIHAB (9) has a handy record over this journey with two wins and four placings from ten attempts and Melbourne Cup winning hoop Dolan sticks following that last-start victory. Expect another big run. CENTRESTONE (12) wasn't too far off them last time out and will be ready to peak now fourth-up. In the mix. MERCHANT FLYER (18) returns from a break. Ran sixth in a trial at Deagon. Opened last campaign with a third at Sunshine Coast over 1400m. Worth consideration. FINE SHOT (13) next in line.
