STARSHIP ATLAS (4) won again in another strong performance after tracking the speed making it three on end at Geelong over 400m (22.51). Hard to fault recent form and looks a key chance again. THORKILDSEN (2) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (30.98) at The Meadows. Has a good record at this journey. Key player if finds best. TALK IS CHEAP (6) missed the hat-trick last start when second and beaten one length (16.74) last time at Healesville. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up. EAGLES FLY ALONE (1) can play a role in the finish without surprising.
