ANTONITO (2) resumes here but the form he showed in previous preparations was more than good enough to feature in a race like this. Has a win and a second from three fresh attempts and tuned up for this with a dominant Sunny Coast trial victory. Expect him to play a major role in the finish. MIST OF DAWN (13) has only missed the top-four once in seven career efforts and rarely puts in a poor one. Will be at peak fitness for this and rates a serious danger. MEHRETU (11) broke the maiden status when first-up and Lang sticks. Can go right on with the job now. MACONDA (16) is a last-start winner who only needs some luck from the carpark draw to be featuring in the outcome. MERCIAN (9) rounds out the selections in a competitive contest.
