CASPERNOVA (2) knuckled down strongly to get within a long neck of the winner in second last start over 1110m at Doomben when resuming after a break. Form at this distance is strong with four wins from eight starts and should be hard to stop. GIVE GIGGLES (5) sat on the pace to the turn then tired in the run home last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 1200m at Ipswich. Harder here but is capable of featuring. BINDI'S CHOICE (10) last appeared when 11th over 1300m at Randwick five months ago. Now under the care of new trainer Tony Gollan. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. WEIGALL TIGER (1) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into seventh over 1200m at Sunshine Coast. Fitter and sure to run well.
