ALWAYS A WINNER (1) has been busting to win over a mile and has won x2 over this distance. Maps well and has a handy 2kg claim. He can go one better. MONTE FLEUR (2) also steps up from a mile and has been around the mark without winning. She is on the quick backup and has claims. PROPHET EYES (6) won here and was beaten a nose following, both over a mile. Has his first crack at a middle distance but brings the right form and is on a 7-day backup. IRISH STORM (5) spiked his figures winning a CL1 at Hobart, appreciating the longer distance. Has an awkward barrier but Pires is a positive jockey engagement and he's a chance to go on. VINTAGE DIESEL (4) had been going okay before the latest. Has a strong record at this course and distance and has to be considered.
