COPPERFIELD (1) is only lightly tried for a 7-year-old gelding, and he is racing in career-best form with 2 wins from his last 3 starts, including a soft win at Wodonga 18 days ago. That sort of form makes him the one to beat in this. SMOOTH FLIGHT (7) won a trial very easily before needing his fresh-up run at Wodonga. The extra furlong is ideal, and he will be spot-on with his fitness second-up. A form reversal is on the cards. Stick with him. AT THE MINT (9) has been thereabouts since winning at Wodonga by a nose in early August. She does not have to improve by much to be a top 3 chance in this. CATALINA BLACK CAT (2) ran home late to finish fourth at Tatura last time out and with an extra furlong on offer here, she could have the last say. Each way.
