MEANT TO BE (11) is building nicely having kicked off his campaign with back-to-back seconds before copping late interference when fourth in The Ascent last week. Had won three of his four visits to this circuit prior to that and will be at his peak now. Can win with better luck. GATESYS GEM (7) continued her consistent form in Australia when she fought on well for second in The Ascent. A wider draw may mean she'll have to work if she wants to go forward again but she has recorded a win and a second in two attempts in Derbies across the Tasman. YOUNEVERKNOW (6) did a good job to come from the back row and place in The Ascent. Player returning to the front line. TARRAGINDI (5) will relish the step up to this distance having won both previous attempts.
