THONATUS (3) didn't manage the wide barrier at Hobart back to a sprint but missed a whisker here the three runs prior at 1600m. Rates best and gets another chance over a middle distance. MILES 'N' MILES (1) did a big job winning a Maiden here coming back to a mile. Was heavily bet this distance range at Hobart prior and didn't have the best of it. On a 5-day backup and deserves consideration. OXY BOLT (5) wasn't too far away at Hobart stepping up to this distance. He can get into the finish again. LYCO RECO (9) brings a Hobart Maiden win over a mile and races forward. Draws inside and has plenty of scope for improvement. GRANITE LEGEND (8) led at Stakes level last time and dropped away. He can give more today at a big price.
